Benefits of Reading

As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of these great length that it requires
a considerable investment of time to compose and a still significant, though not so comprehensive,
investment of time to browse. This sense of book has a restricted and an unrestricted sense. In the
limited sense, a publication is a self-sufficient section or portion of a longer composition, a use that
reflects the fact that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on several scrolls, and each scroll
needed to be identified by the publication it contained. Therefore, for example, each part of
Aristotles Physics is called a book. From the unrestricted sense, a book is the compositional whole
of that such sections, whether called chapters or books or components, are parts.

The academic material in a physical book does not need to be a makeup, nor be called a novel.
Books can consist only of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such matters as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. At a physical book, the pages may be left blank or can contain an abstract
set of lines as support for ongoing entrances, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
autograph book, a laptop, a diary, or a sketchbook. Some physical publications are created with
pages thick and sturdy enough to support other physical objects, like a scrapbook or picture album.
Books may be distributed in electronic form as e-books along with other formats.

Although in normal academic parlance a monograph is known to be a specialist academic work,
rather than a reference work on a single scholarly subject, in library and information science
monograph denotes 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. A store where books are bought and sold
is a bookshop or bookstore. Books are also sold everywhere. Books may also be borrowed from
libraries. 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 use of e-books.

In the 2000s, as a result of rise in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the chance to
share texts through digital means became an appealing alternative for media publishers. The term
e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it pertains 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 may be read either via 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 screen device
called 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 using
this technology, because the displays on e-book readers are much less reflective.
