Advantages of Reading

As an intellectual thing, a publication is prototypically a composition of these great length that it
requires a substantial investment of time to write and a still significant, though not so extensive,
investment of time to read. This feeling of publication 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 use that
reflects the fact that, in antiquity, long functions needed to be written on several scrolls, and every
scroll needed to be identified by the book it contained. Therefore, for instance, each component of
Aristotles Physics is called a book. In the unrestricted sense, a book is your compositional whole of
that such sections, whether called chapters or books or components, are parts.

The academic material in a physical publication does not need to be a makeup, nor be called a
book. Books can consist only of drawings, engravings, or photos, or such things as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. In a physical book, the pages can be left blank or can feature an abstract
group of lines as support for continuing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
autograph book, a laptop, a diary, or a sketchbook. Some physical books are created with pages
thick and sturdy enough to encourage other physical objects, like a scrapbook or picture album.
Books may be distributed in digital form as e-books and other formats.

Although in ordinary academic parlance that a monograph is understood to be a specialist
academic work, instead of a reference work on a single scholarly topic, in library and information
science monograph denotes more broadly every non-serial book complete in one volume (book) or
a finite number of volumes (a novel like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time), compared
to serial publications like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. Novels can also be sold everywhere.
Books can also be borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, approximately
130,000,000 distinct titles were published. In some wealthier nations, the selling of printed books
has diminished because of the increased use of e-books.

In the 2000s, due to the growth in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the chance to
share texts via electronic means became an attractive alternative for media publishers. The
expression e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it refers to some book-length publication in
electronic form. An e-book is generally made accessible 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
screen like a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; or by means of a portable e-ink
screen device known as 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 publication by using this technology, since the displays onto e-book readers are much less
reflective.
