Advantages of Reading

As an intellectual object, a publication is prototypically a composition of these great length that it
requires a considerable investment of time to compose and a still considerable, though not so
extensive, investment of time to browse. This sense of book has a restricted and an unrestricted
sense. In the restricted sense, a book is a self-sufficient 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 needed to be identified by the publication it contained. So, for instance,
each part of Aristotles Physics is called a book. In the unrestricted sense, a book is the
compositional whole of that these sections, whether known as chapters or books or components,
are parts.

The academic material in a tangible book does not need to be a composition, nor even be called a
novel. Novels can consist only of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such matters 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 entrances, e.g., an account book, an appointment
book, an autograph book, a notebook, a diary, or a sketchbook. Some bodily publications are
made out of pages thick and sturdy enough to support other physical objects, like a record or
picture album. Books may be distributed in digital form as e-books along with other formats.

Although in normal academic parlance that a monograph is understood to be a professional
academic work, rather than a reference work on a single scholarly topic, in library and information
science monograph denotes more broadly any non-serial book 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 books is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". Books can also be sold elsewhere.
Books may also be borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, roughly
130,000,000 different titles were published. In some wealthier nations, the sale of published books
has decreased because of the increased usage of e-books.

In the 2000s, as a result of rise in availability of affordable handheld computing devices, the
chance to share texts via digital means became an attractive alternative for media publishers. The
expression e-book is a contraction of"digital book"; it refers to a book-length book in electronic
form. An e-book is usually made available through the internet, but also on CD-ROM along with
other forms. E-Books might be read either via a computing device with an LED screen such as a
traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet computer; or by means of a portable e-ink display
device called an e-book reader, like the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo eReader, or
even the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers attempt to mimic the experience of reading a print
publication by using this technology, since the displays on e-book readers are not as reflective.
