Benefits of Reading

As an intellectual thing, a book is prototypically a composition of such great length that it takes a
substantial investment of time to compose and a still considerable, though not so extensive,
investment of time to browse. In the restricted sense, a book is a self explanatory section or part of
a longer article, a use that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long functions had to be written
on several scrolls, and every scroll needed to be identified by the book it contained. So, for
example, each part of Aristotles Physics is called a book. From the unrestricted sense, a
publication is your compositional whole of which these segments, whether known as books or
chapters or parts, are parts.

The academic material in a physical book does not need to be a composition, nor be called a
novel. Novels can consist only of drawings, engravings, or photos, or such matters as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. In a physical book, the pages may be left blank or can contain an abstract
group of lines as support for continuing 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 items, 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 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 publication complete in 1 volume (publication ) 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 store where books are
bought and sold is a bookshop or bookstore. Books can also be sold everywhere. Google has
estimated that as of 2010, approximately 130,000,000 different titles had been released. In some
wealthier countries, the sale of printed books has decreased due to the increased usage of e-
books.

In the 2000s, as a result of growth in availability of affordable handheld computing devices, the
chance to share texts via digital means became an attractive alternative for media publishers.
Hence, the"e-book" was created. The term e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it pertains to
some book-length book in digital 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 via a computing
device with an LED screen like a conventional computer, a smartphone or a tablet computer; 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 even the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers try to mimic the
experience of reading a print publication by employing this technology, because the screens on e-
book readers are not as reflective.
