            Advantages of Reading




            As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of such great length that it takes a
            substantial investment of time to compose and a still considerable, though not so comprehensive,
            investment time to read. This feeling of publication has a restricted and an unrestricted sense. In
            the restricted 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 needed to be written on many scrolls, and
            every scroll had to be identified by the publication it contained. Therefore, for example, each
            component of Aristotles Physics is referred to as a book. In the unrestricted sense, a book is the
            compositional whole of that these sections, whether known as books or chapters or parts, are
            components.

            The intellectual content in a tangible book need not be a composition, nor even be called a book.
            Books 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 can feature an abstract
            set of outlines as support for continuing entrances, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
            autograph book, a laptop, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some physical publications are made with
            pages thick and sturdy enough to encourage other physical items, like a record or photograph
            album. Books could 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 professional academic
            work, rather than a reference work on a single scholarly subject, in library and information science
            monograph denotes more broadly any non-serial book complete in one volume (publication ) or a
            finite number of volumes (a publication 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 can also be sold elsewhere. Books may also be borrowed from
            libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000 different titles had been
            released. In some wealthier countries, the selling of published books has diminished because of
            the increased usage of e-books.

            In the 2000s, as a result of rise in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the
            opportunity to share texts through digital means became an appealing option for media publishers.
            The expression e-book is a contraction of"digital book"; it pertains to a 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 via a computing device with an LED display such as a
            traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet computer; or by means of a mobile 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 try to mimic the experience of reading a print book by using this
            technology, because the screens on e-book readers are much less reflective.
