Benefits 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 significant, though not so extensive,
investment time to browse. In the limited sense, a book is a self explanatory section or portion of a
longer article, a usage that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on
several scrolls, and every scroll had to be identified by the publication it included. Therefore, for
instance, each component of Aristotles Physics is called a book. From the unrestricted sense, a
publication is the compositional whole of which such sections, whether known as chapters or
books or parts, are parts.

The intellectual content in a physical book need not be a makeup, nor even be called a novel.
Books can consist only of drawings, engravings, or photos, or such matters as crossword puzzles
or cut-out dolls. At a physical book, the pages can be left blank or may feature an abstract group of
lines as support for continuing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an autograph
book, a notebook, a diary, or a sketchbook. Some bodily publications are created out of pages
thick and sturdy enough to support other physical items, like a scrapbook or picture album. Books
may be distributed in digital form as e-books along with other formats.

Although in ordinary academic parlance a monograph is known to be a professional academic
work, instead of a reference work on a single scholarly subject, in library and information science
monograph describes more broadly every non-serial book 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
sequential books like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. A shop where books are purchased and
sold is a bookshop or bookstore. Novels are also sold elsewhere. Books can also be borrowed
from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000 distinct titles had been
released. In some wealthier countries, the selling of published books has decreased because of
the increased use of e-books.

In the 2000s, as a result of growth in availability of affordable handheld computing devices, the
opportunity to share texts via digital means became an attractive alternative for media publishers.
The expression e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it pertains to a book-length book in
electronic form. An e-book is generally made available 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 display like 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, such as the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo
eReader, or the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers try to mimic the experience of reading a print
publication by employing this technology, because the displays on e-book readers are not as
reflective.
