Benefits of Reading

As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of such great length that it takes a
substantial investment of time to write and a still significant, though not so comprehensive,
investment of time to browse. In the limited sense, a book is a self explanatory section or portion of
a longer article, a usage that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long functions needed to be
written on many scrolls, and each scroll needed to be identified by the book it contained. So, for
instance, each part of Aristotles Physics is called a book. From the unrestricted sense, a book is
your compositional whole of which such segments, whether called chapters or books or
components, are components.

The academic material in a tangible book need not be a makeup, nor be called a novel. Novels can
consist only of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such things as crossword puzzles or cut-
out dolls. In a physical book, the pages may be left blank or may feature an abstract group of lines
as support for ongoing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an autograph book, a
notebook, a diary, or a sketchbook. Some bodily books are created out of pages thick and sturdy
enough to encourage other physical items, like a record or photograph album. Books could be
distributed in electronic form as e-books along with other formats.

Although in ordinary academic parlance that a monograph is understood to be a professional
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 1 volume (book) or a
finite number of volumes (even 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. Novels are also sold elsewhere. Google has estimated that as of
2010, approximately 130,000,000 distinct titles had been released. In some wealthier countries, the
selling of printed books has decreased because of the increased use of e-books.

In the 2000s, due to the rise in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the opportunity to
share texts through digital means became an appealing option for media publishers. The
expression e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it pertains to a book-length book in
electronic form. An e-book is generally made accessible through the internet, but also on CD-ROM
along with other forms. E-Books may be read either via a computing device with an LED display
like a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet computer; or by means of a portable e-ink
screen device called an e-book reader, like the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo
eReader, or the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers try to mimic the experience of reading a print book
by using this technology, since the screens onto e-book readers are much less reflective.
