Benefits 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 significant, though not so comprehensive,
investment of 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 portion of a longer article, a usage
that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long functions had to be written on several scrolls, and
each scroll needed to be identified by the publication it included. So, for example, each component
of Aristotles Physics is called a book. In the unrestricted sense, a publication is your compositional
whole of which such segments, whether called books or chapters or components, are components.
The academic material in a physical publication does not need to be a composition, nor even be
called a novel. Books can consist only 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 feature
an abstract set of lines as service for ongoing entrances, e.g., an account book, an appointment
book, an autograph book, a laptop, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some physical books are created
out of pages thick and sturdy enough to support other physical items, 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 that a monograph is understood to be a professional
academic work, instead of a reference work on a single scholarly subject, in library and information
science monograph describes more broadly every non-serial publication complete in 1 volume
(book) or a finite number of volumes (a novel like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time),
compared to sequential books like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. A passionate reader or
collector of books is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". A shop where books are bought and
sold is a bookshop or bookstore. Books are also sold everywhere. Google has estimated that as of
2010, approximately 130,000,000 different titles were released. In some wealthier countries, the
selling of printed books has diminished because of the increased usage of e-books.
In the 2000s, as a result of growth in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the chance
to share texts through electronic means became an attractive alternative for media publishers. 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 available through the world wide web, but also on CD-ROM
along with other forms. E-Books might be read either via a computing device with an LED screen
like a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet computer; or by way of a mobile 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 using this technology, because the screens on e-book readers are not as reflective.
