Advantages of Reading

As an intellectual thing, a publication is prototypically a makeup of such great length that it takes a
considerable investment of time to compose and a still considerable, though not so extensive,
investment of time to read. In the restricted sense, a book is a self-sufficient section or portion of a
longer article, a use that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long functions needed to be
written on many scrolls, and each scroll had to be identified from the book it included. Therefore,
for example, each component of Aristotles Physics is called a book. In the unrestricted sense, a
publication is the compositional whole of which these segments, whether called books or chapters
or components, are parts.

The academic material in a physical publication need not be a composition, nor even be called a
book. Novels can consist just of drawings, engravings, or photos, or such matters as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. At a physical book, the pages can be left blank or may contain an abstract
group of lines as support for continuing entrances, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
autograph book, a laptop, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some physical books are made with pages
thick and sturdy enough to encourage other physical items, like a record or picture album. Books
could be distributed in digital form as e-books along with other formats.

Although in ordinary academic parlance a monograph is understood to be a professional academic
work, rather than a reference work on a single scholarly subject, in library and information science
monograph describes more broadly any non-serial book complete in 1 volume (publication ) or a
finite number of volumes (a publication like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time), in
contrast to serial publications like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. A passionate reader or
collector of novels is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". A store where books are bought and
sold is a bookshop or bookstore. Novels can also be sold everywhere. Google has estimated that
as of 2010, approximately 130,000,000 different titles were published. In some wealthier countries,
the sale of printed books has decreased due to the increased use of e-books.

In the 2000s, as a result of growth in availability of affordable handheld computing devices, the
chance to share texts via digital means became an attractive alternative for media publishers. The
term e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it pertains 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
display such as a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet computer; or by means of a
portable e-ink display device called an e-book reader, such as the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble
Nook, Kobo eReader, or the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers try to mimic the experience of reading
a print publication by using this technology, since the screens on e-book readers are much less
reflective.
