Advantages of Reading

As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of such great length that it requires
a considerable investment of time to compose and a still considerable, though not so extensive,
investment of time to browse. This feeling of book has a restricted and an unrestricted sense. In
the limited sense, a publication is a self explanatory section or part of a longer composition, a use
that reflects the fact that, in antiquity, long functions needed to be written on several scrolls, and
each scroll had to be identified from the book it included. So, for example, 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 components.

The academic material in a tangible book does not need to be a composition, nor be called a book.
Novels can consist just of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such things as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. At a physical book, the pages may be left blank or may contain an abstract
group of lines as service for ongoing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
autograph book, a notebook, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some bodily books are made out of pages
thick and sturdy enough to support other physical objects, like a scrapbook or picture album. Books
may be distributed in digital form as e-books and other formats.

Although in normal academic parlance that a monograph is known to be a specialist 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 one volume (book) or a
finite number of volumes (even a novel like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time), in
contrast to serial publications like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. A passionate reader or
reader of books is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". Books are also sold everywhere.
Google has estimated that as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000 distinct titles had been published. In
some wealthier countries, the selling of printed books has diminished due to the increased usage
of e-books.

In the 2000s, due to the growth in availability of affordable handheld computing devices, the
opportunity to share texts via electronic means became an attractive alternative for media
publishers. The term e-book is a contraction of"digital book"; it refers to a book-length book in
digital form. An e-book is generally made available through the internet, but also on CD-ROM
along with other forms. E-Books might be read either using a computing device with an LED
screen like a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; or by means of a mobile e-ink
screen 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 screens on e-book readers are not as
reflective.
