Advantages of Reading
As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of such great length that it takes a
considerable investment of time to compose and a still significant, though not so comprehensive,
investment of time to read. In the restricted sense, a publication is a self explanatory section or part
of a longer composition, a usage that reflects the fact that, in antiquity, long works needed to be
written on several scrolls, and each scroll had to be identified from the publication it contained.
Therefore, for example, each component of Aristotles Physics is referred to as a book. From the
unrestricted sense, a publication is your compositional whole of which such sections, whether
known as books or chapters or components, are components.
The intellectual content in a physical publication need not be a composition, nor be called a novel.
Books 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 can contain an abstract set of lines
as support for ongoing entrances, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an autograph book,
a notebook, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some physical publications are made with pages thick and
sturdy enough to encourage other physical items, like a scrapbook or picture album. Books may be
distributed in electronic form as e-books and other formats.
Although in ordinary academic parlance that a monograph is known to be a professional academic
work, instead of 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 (book) or a
finite number of volumes (a novel like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time), compared to
sequential books like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. A passionate reader or collector of books
is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". Books are also sold everywhere. Google has estimated
that as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000 different titles were published. In some wealthier nations, the
sale of published books has decreased because of the increased usage of e-books.
In the 2000s, due to the growth in availability of affordable handheld computing devices, the
chance to share texts through digital means became an attractive alternative for media publishers.
The expression e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it pertains to some book-length book in
digital form. An e-book is generally made available through the internet, but also on CD-ROM
along with other forms. E-Books may be read either via a computing device with an LED display
like a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; or by way of a mobile e-ink display device
known as an e-book reader, like the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo eReader, or even
the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers attempt to mimic the experience of reading a print book by
employing this technology, because the displays on e-book readers are much less reflective.
