Advantages of Reading

As an intellectual object, a publication is prototypically a composition of these great length that it
requires a substantial investment of time to write and a still considerable, though not so extensive,
investment time to read. In the restricted sense, a book is a self explanatory section or part of a
longer article, a usage that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long functions had to be written
on several scrolls, and every scroll needed to be identified by the publication it included. So, for
instance, each part of Aristotles Physics is referred to as a book. In the unrestricted sense, a
publication is the compositional whole of which such segments, whether called books or chapters
or components, are components.

The academic material in a tangible book does not need to be a makeup, nor be called a novel.
Books can consist only of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such things as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. At a physical book, the pages can be left blank or can feature an abstract
set of lines as support for continuing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
autograph book, a laptop, a diary, or a sketchbook. Some bodily books are made with pages thick
and sturdy enough to encourage other physical items, like a record or photograph album. Books
may be distributed in digital form as e-books along with other formats.

Although in normal academic parlance a monograph is known to be a specialist academic work,
rather than a reference work on a single scholarly subject, in library and information science
monograph denotes more broadly every non-serial publication complete in one volume (book) or a
finite number of volumes (even a publication like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time),
compared to sequential books like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. A passionate reader or
collector of novels is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". Books are also sold elsewhere.
Books can also be borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, roughly
130,000,000 different titles had been released. In some wealthier nations, the selling of printed
books has decreased because of the increased usage of e-books.

In the 2000s, as a result of growth in availability of affordable handheld computing devices, the
opportunity to share texts through electronic means became an appealing alternative for media
publishers. The expression e-book is a contraction of"digital book"; it pertains to some book-length
book in digital form. An e-book is generally made accessible through the world wide web, but also
on CD-ROM along with other forms. E-Books might be read either using a computing device with
an LED screen such as a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet computer; or by means of
a mobile e-ink screen device called an e-book reader, such as the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble
Nook, Kobo eReader, or the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers attempt to mimic the experience of
reading a print publication by employing this technology, because the screens onto e-book readers
are much less reflective.
