Benefits of Reading
As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of such great length that it takes a
considerable investment of time to write and a still significant, though not so extensive, investment
time to browse. In the limited sense, a publication is a self explanatory section or portion of a
longer composition, a usage that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long works had to be
written on many scrolls, and every scroll had to be identified by the book it included. So, for
example, each part of Aristotles Physics is called a book. From the unrestricted sense, a
publication is the compositional whole of which such segments, whether known as chapters or
books or parts, are parts.
The intellectual content in a tangible book does not need to be a composition, nor even be called a
novel. 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 may be left blank or can contain
an abstract group of outlines as support for continuing entrances, e.g., an account book, an
appointment book, an autograph book, a laptop, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some bodily
publications are made out of pages thick and sturdy enough to encourage other physical objects,
like a record or picture album. Books may be distributed in digital form as e-books and other
formats.
Although in normal academic parlance a monograph is understood 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 1 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. Novels are also sold elsewhere. Google
has estimated that as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000 different titles had been released. In some
wealthier countries, the sale of printed books has decreased because of the increased usage of e-
books.
In the 2000s, due to the growth in availability of affordable handheld computing devices, the
chance to share texts via electronic means became an attractive option for media publishers. The
term e-book is a contraction of"digital book"; it pertains to some book-length book in electronic
form. An e-book is generally made accessible through the internet, but also on CD-ROM and other
forms. E-Books might be read either using a computing device with an LED display such as a
conventional computer, a smartphone or a tablet computer; or by way of a portable e-ink display
device called 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 much less reflective.
