Advantages of Reading

As an intellectual object, a publication is prototypically a composition of such great length that it
requires a considerable investment of time to write and a still considerable, though not so
comprehensive, investment of time to read. 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 book
it included. Therefore, for example, each component 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 books or chapters or parts, are parts.

The intellectual content in a physical publication need not be a composition, nor even be called a
book. Novels can consist just of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such matters as
crossword puzzles or cut-out dolls. At a physical book, the pages can be left blank or can feature
an abstract group of lines as support for ongoing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment
book, an autograph book, a laptop, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some physical publications are
made with pages thick and sturdy enough to encourage other physical objects, like a scrapbook or
photograph album. Books could 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, instead of 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 (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
reader of books is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". Books are also sold elsewhere. Google
has estimated that as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000 distinct titles had been released. In some
wealthier nations, the sale of printed 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 appealing option for media publishers. The
expression e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it refers to some book-length publication 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 via a computing device with an
LED screen like a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; or by means of a portable e-
ink screen device known as an e-book reader, like the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo
eReader, or the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers try to mimic the experience of reading a print book
by employing this technology, since the screens onto e-book readers are not as reflective.
