Benefits of Reading
As an intellectual thing, a publication 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
comprehensive, investment time to read. In the limited sense, a publication is a self explanatory
section or part of a longer composition, a use that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long
functions had to be written on several scrolls, and each scroll had to be identified from the book it
contained. So, for example, each part of Aristotles Physics is called a book. From the unrestricted
sense, a book is the compositional whole of which these sections, whether called books or
chapters or components, are parts.
The academic material in a tangible book need not be a composition, nor be called a book. 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
outlines as service for continuing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
autograph book, a laptop, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some bodily books are created with pages
thick and sturdy enough to encourage other physical objects, like a record or picture album. Books
may be distributed in digital form as e-books along with other formats.
Although in normal academic parlance that a monograph is known to be a specialist 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),
compared to sequential books like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. An avid reader or collector
of novels is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". Novels are also sold elsewhere. Google has
estimated that as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000 distinct titles were published. In some wealthier
countries, the sale 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 via digital means became an appealing alternative for media publishers. The term e-
book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it pertains to a book-length publication in electronic form.
An e-book is generally made available through the internet, but also on CD-ROM along with other
forms. E-Books might be read either via a computing device with an LED screen such as a
traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; 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 try to mimic the experience of reading a print publication by using
this technology, because the displays onto e-book readers are not as reflective.
