Benefits of Reading

As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a makeup of such great length that it requires a
considerable investment of time to write and a still significant, though not so extensive, investment
time to browse. In the limited sense, a publication is a self explanatory section or part of a longer
article, a use that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long functions had to be written on
several scrolls, and every scroll needed to be identified from the publication it contained. So, for
example, each component of Aristotles Physics is called a book. In the unrestricted sense, a
publication is the compositional whole of which these sections, whether known as chapters or
books or components, are parts.

The intellectual content in a physical book need not be a composition, nor be called a book. Novels
can consist just 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 can 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 made with pages
thick and sturdy enough to support other physical objects, like a scrapbook or photograph album.
Books could be distributed in digital form as e-books and other formats.

Although in ordinary academic parlance a monograph is known to be a specialist academic work,
rather than a reference work on a single scholarly topic, in library and information science
monograph describes more broadly every non-serial book complete in one volume (publication ) or
a finite number of volumes (even a novel like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time), in
contrast to sequential books like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. A passionate reader or
collector of novels is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". Books can also be sold elsewhere.
Google has estimated that as of 2010, approximately 130,000,000 distinct titles had been released.
In some wealthier nations, the selling of printed books has diminished due to the increased usage
of e-books.

In the 2000s, as a result of rise in availability of affordable handheld computing devices, the
opportunity to share texts through digital means became an appealing alternative for media
publishers. The expression e-book is a contraction of"digital book"; it pertains to a book-length
publication in electronic form. An e-book is usually made accessible through the world wide web,
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 conventional computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; or by means of
a mobile e-ink screen device called an e-book reader, like 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 book by using this technology, since the displays onto e-book readers are not as reflective.
