Benefits of Reading

As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of these great length that it takes a
substantial investment of time to write and a still significant, though not so extensive, investment
time to read. In the limited sense, a publication is a self explanatory section or portion of a longer
composition, a usage that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long functions needed to be
written on many scrolls, and each scroll needed to be identified from the book it contained.
Therefore, for instance, each part of Aristotles Physics is referred to as a book. From the
unrestricted sense, a book is the compositional whole of which these segments, whether known as
books or chapters or components, are parts.

The academic material in a tangible book need not be a makeup, nor be called a novel. 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 can be left blank or may feature an abstract set of outlines as
service for ongoing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an autograph book, a
notebook, a journal, 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 could be
distributed in digital form as e-books and other formats.

Although in normal academic parlance that 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 one volume
(book) or a finite number of volumes (even a novel like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost
Time), compared to sequential books like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. A store where books
are bought and sold is a bookshop or bookstore. Novels are also sold everywhere. Google has
estimated that as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000 different titles were released. In some wealthier
countries, the selling 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 chance to
share texts through digital means became an appealing alternative for media publishers. The term
e-book is a contraction of"digital book"; it refers to some book-length book in digital form. An e-
book is generally made available through the internet, but also on CD-ROM and other forms. E-
Books might be read either using a computing device with an LED screen like a conventional
computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; 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 attempt to mimic the experience of reading a print book by employing this
technology, since the displays on e-book readers are much less reflective.
