Advantages of Reading

As an intellectual object, a publication is prototypically a makeup of these great length that it
requires a considerable investment of time to write and a still considerable, though not so
extensive, investment time to browse. In the limited sense, a publication is a self-sufficient section
or portion of a longer composition, a usage that reflects the fact that, in antiquity, long works had to
be written on several scrolls, and each scroll needed to be identified from the book it included. So,
for instance, each part of Aristotles Physics is referred to as a book. From the unrestricted sense, a
book is the compositional whole of which these segments, whether called chapters or books or
components, are components.

The academic material in a physical publication need not be a composition, nor even be called a
book. Books can consist just of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such things as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. In a physical book, the pages can be left blank or may feature an abstract
group of outlines as service for ongoing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
autograph book, a notebook, a diary, or a sketchbook. Some physical books are made out of
pages thick and sturdy enough to support other physical objects, like a scrapbook or photograph
album. Books could be distributed in electronic form as e-books and other formats.

Although in ordinary academic parlance a monograph is understood to be a specialist academic
work, instead of a reference work on a single scholarly subject, in library and information science
monograph describes more broadly any non-serial book complete in 1 volume (book) or a finite
number of volumes (a publication like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time), compared to
serial publications like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. Books are also sold elsewhere. Books
may also be borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000
distinct titles had been released. In some wealthier nations, the sale of published books has
decreased because of the increased use of e-books.

In the 2000s, due to the growth in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the
opportunity to share texts through electronic means became an attractive alternative for media
publishers. The term e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it refers to some book-length
publication in electronic form. An e-book is usually made accessible 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 way of a
portable e-ink display device known as an e-book reader, like 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, since the screens onto e-book readers
are not as reflective.
