Benefits of Reading

As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of such great length that it requires
a substantial investment of time to compose and a still considerable, though not so
comprehensive, investment of time to browse. In the restricted sense, a publication is a self
explanatory section or portion of a longer composition, a usage that reflects the fact that, in
antiquity, long works had to be written on several scrolls, and every scroll had to be identified by
the publication it included. Therefore, for example, each part of Aristotles Physics is called a book.
In the unrestricted sense, a publication is your compositional whole of that such sections, whether
called chapters or books or parts, are components.

The academic material in a physical publication does not need to be a composition, nor even 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 set 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 physical books are created with
pages thick and sturdy enough to support other physical items, like a record or photograph album.
Books may be distributed in electronic form as e-books and other formats.

Although in normal academic parlance 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 any non-serial publication complete in 1 volume (publication ) or
a finite number of volumes (a novel like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time), in contrast
to serial publications like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. An avid reader or collector of novels
is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". Novels are also sold everywhere. Books may also be
borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000 different titles
had been published. In some wealthier nations, the sale of published books has decreased due to
the increased use of e-books.

In the 2000s, as a result of growth in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the
opportunity to share texts through electronic means became an appealing alternative for media
publishers. Hence, the"e-book" was created. 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
available through the world wide web, but also on CD-ROM and other forms. E-Books might be
read either via a computing device with an LED display such as a traditional computer, a
smartphone or a tablet computer; or by way of a portable e-ink display device called an e-book
reader, like the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo eReader, or the Amazon Kindle. E-book
readers attempt to mimic the experience of reading a print publication by using this technology,
since the displays on e-book readers are not as reflective.
