Benefits of Reading
As an intellectual object, a publication is prototypically a composition of such great length that it
requires a considerable investment of time to write and a still significant, though not so
comprehensive, investment of time to read. In the restricted sense, a publication is a self-sufficient
section or part of a longer article, a usage that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long
functions had to be written on several scrolls, and every scroll needed to be identified by the book
it included. Therefore, for instance, each part of Aristotles Physics is called a book. From the
unrestricted sense, a publication is the compositional whole of which these sections, whether
known as chapters or books or parts, are components.
The academic material in a tangible publication does not need to be a makeup, nor be called a
book. Novels can consist just of drawings, engravings, or photos, or such things as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. At a physical book, the pages may be left blank or may feature an abstract
set of lines as support for ongoing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
autograph book, a notebook, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some bodily books are created out of
pages thick and sturdy enough to support other physical items, like a scrapbook or photograph
album. Books may be distributed in electronic form as e-books and other formats.
Although in ordinary academic parlance that a monograph is known 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), in contrast to
sequential books like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. An avid reader or reader of books is a
bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". A store where books are bought and sold is a bookshop or
bookstore. Novels are also sold elsewhere. Google has estimated that as of 2010, roughly
130,000,000 different titles were released. In some wealthier nations, the sale of published books
has diminished due to the increased usage of e-books.
In the 2000s, due to the rise in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the opportunity to
share texts via electronic means became an attractive option for media publishers. The term e-
book is a contraction of"digital book"; it pertains to a book-length publication in digital form. An e-
book is usually made available through the internet, but also on CD-ROM along with other forms.
E-Books may be read either using a computing device with an LED display like a traditional
computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; or by means of a portable e-ink display device known as 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 book by using this
technology, because the screens on e-book readers are not as reflective.
