Advantages of Reading

As an intellectual thing, a book is prototypically a composition of these great length that it requires
a substantial investment of time to compose and a still considerable, though not so extensive,
investment of time to browse. In the limited sense, a book is a self-sufficient section or part of a
longer article, a usage that reflects the fact that, in antiquity, long functions had to be written on
many scrolls, and each scroll had to be identified by the book it included. So, for example, each
part of Aristotles Physics is referred to as a book. In the unrestricted sense, a book is the
compositional whole of which these sections, whether called books or chapters or parts, are parts.

The intellectual content in a physical publication does not need to be a composition, 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 can be left blank or can feature
an abstract group of outlines as service 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
created out of pages thick and sturdy enough to support other physical items, like a record or
photograph album. Books may be distributed in digital form as e-books along with other formats.

Although in ordinary academic parlance that a monograph is known to be a professional academic
work, rather than a reference work on a single scholarly subject, in library and information science
monograph denotes more broadly every non-serial publication complete in one volume (book) or a
finite number of volumes (even a publication like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time), in
contrast to serial publications like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. An avid reader or collector of
books is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". Books can also be 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 nations, the selling of printed books has
diminished due to the increased use of e-books.

In the 2000s, due to the rise in availability of affordable handheld computing devices, the
opportunity to share texts via electronic means became an appealing option for media publishers.
The term e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it refers to a book-length book in electronic
form. An e-book is generally made available through the world wide web, but also on CD-ROM and
other forms. E-Books may be read either using 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, such as the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo eReader, or even
the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers attempt to mimic the experience of reading a print book by
employing this technology, because the displays on e-book readers are much less reflective.
