Benefits 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 write and a still considerable, though not so extensive,
investment time to browse. This feeling of book has a restricted and an unrestricted sense. In the
restricted sense, a publication is a self-sufficient section or part of a longer article, a usage that
reflects the fact that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on several scrolls, and every scroll
had to be identified from the publication it contained. So, for instance, each part of Aristotles
Physics is called a book. In the unrestricted sense, a book is the compositional whole of that such
segments, whether called chapters or books or components, are parts.

The intellectual content in a tangible book need not be a makeup, nor even be called a novel.
Books can consist just of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such matters as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. In a physical book, the pages can be left blank or may contain an abstract
set of lines as service for ongoing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
autograph book, a laptop, a diary, or a sketchbook. Some bodily publications are created with
pages thick and sturdy enough to support other physical objects, 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 understood 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
(publication ) or a finite number of volumes (even a publication 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 purchased and sold is a bookshop or bookstore. Books can also be sold
elsewhere. Books can also be borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010,
approximately 130,000,000 different titles were released. In some wealthier countries, the sale of
printed books has decreased due to 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 digital means became an appealing alternative for media publishers. The
term e-book is a contraction of"digital book"; it pertains to a book-length book in electronic form. An
e-book is generally made accessible through the world wide web, but also on CD-ROM along with
other forms. E-Books may be read either via a computing device with an LED display such as a
traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet computer; or by way of a mobile e-ink display device
known as an e-book reader, like 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
using this technology, because the displays on e-book readers are much less reflective.
