Benefits of Reading
As an intellectual thing, a publication is prototypically a composition of these great length that it
takes a considerable investment of time to compose and a still considerable, though not so
extensive, investment time to read. In the restricted sense, a publication is a self explanatory
section or part of a longer composition, a use that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long
works needed to be written on several scrolls, and each scroll had to be identified from the
publication it contained. Therefore, for instance, each component of Aristotles Physics is referred
to as a book. In the unrestricted sense, a book is the compositional whole of that such segments,
whether known as chapters or books or parts, are parts.
The intellectual content in a physical publication need not be a composition, nor be called a book.
Books can consist just of drawings, engravings, or photos, or such things as crossword puzzles or
cut-out dolls. In a physical book, the pages may be left blank or may feature an abstract group of
lines as service for ongoing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an autograph
book, a notebook, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some bodily publications are made with pages thick
and sturdy enough to encourage other physical objects, like a scrapbook or picture album. Books
could be distributed in electronic form as e-books and other formats.
Although in normal academic parlance that a monograph is known to be a specialist academic
work, instead of a reference work on a single scholarly topic, in library and information science
monograph describes more broadly every non-serial publication complete in one volume (book) or
a finite number of volumes (a novel like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time), in contrast
to serial publications like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. An avid reader or collector of books is
a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". A shop where books are purchased and sold is a
bookshop or bookstore. Novels are also sold everywhere. Google has estimated that as of 2010,
approximately 130,000,000 different titles were released. In some wealthier nations, the sale of
printed books has decreased because of the increased usage of e-books.
In the 2000s, due to the rise in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the chance to
share texts via digital means became an appealing option for media publishers. The expression e-
book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it pertains to some book-length book in electronic form.
An e-book is usually made accessible through the internet, but also on CD-ROM and other forms.
E-Books may be read either via a computing device with an LED screen such as a traditional
computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; or by way of a portable e-ink display device known as an e-
book reader, like the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo eReader, or even the Amazon
Kindle. E-book readers try to mimic the experience of reading a print book by employing this
technology, because the screens onto e-book readers are not as reflective.
