Advantages of Reading

As an intellectual object, a publication is prototypically a composition of such great length that it
requires a substantial investment of time to write and a still significant, though not so
comprehensive, investment of time to browse. This sense of publication has a restricted and an
unrestricted sense. In the limited sense, a book is a self-sufficient section or portion of a longer
article, a use that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long works needed to be written on
many scrolls, and each scroll needed to be identified from the book it contained. Therefore, for
example, each component of Aristotles Physics is referred to as a book. From the unrestricted
sense, a publication is the compositional whole of which these segments, whether called chapters
or books or components, are parts.

The academic material in a physical publication need not be a makeup, nor be called a book.
Books can consist just of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such matters as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. At a physical book, the pages may be left blank or can contain an abstract
set of lines 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 created out of
pages thick and sturdy enough to support other physical objects, like a scrapbook or photograph
album. Books may be distributed in digital form as e-books along with other formats.

Although in ordinary 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 describes more broadly every 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),
compared to serial publications like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. A passionate reader or
collector of books is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". Novels can also be sold elsewhere.
Books can also be borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, approximately
130,000,000 different titles were released. In some wealthier nations, 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 affordable handheld computing devices, the
opportunity to share texts via digital means became an appealing option for media publishers.
Thus, the"e-book" was created. The expression e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it refers
to a book-length book in digital form. An e-book is generally made available through the world wide
web, but also on CD-ROM and other forms. E-Books may be read either using a computing device
with an LED screen such as a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet computer; or by
means of a mobile e-ink display device known as 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 employing this technology, since the displays onto e-
book readers are not as reflective.
