Benefits of Reading

As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of these great length that it requires
a substantial investment of time to compose and a still significant, though not so comprehensive,
investment time to read. In the limited sense, a book is a self explanatory section or part 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 by the publication it contained. Therefore,
for instance, each part of Aristotles Physics is referred to as a book. From the unrestricted sense, a
publication is the compositional whole of that such segments, whether called books or chapters or
parts, are parts.

The academic material in a tangible publication need not be a makeup, nor be called a novel.
Novels can consist just of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such things as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. At a physical book, the pages may be left blank or can feature an abstract
set of lines as support for ongoing entrances, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
autograph book, a laptop, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some bodily books are created out of pages
thick and sturdy enough to encourage other physical items, like a record or picture album. Books
could be distributed in electronic 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 describes more broadly every 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 serial publications like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. A passionate reader or
reader of novels is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". A store where books are bought and
sold is a bookshop or bookstore. Books can also be sold elsewhere. Books may also be borrowed
from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, approximately 130,000,000 distinct titles were
published. In some wealthier nations, the sale of printed books has diminished due to the
increased use 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 attractive alternative 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 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 like a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; or
by way of a portable e-ink screen device called an e-book reader, such as 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 publication by employing this technology, since the displays onto e-
book readers are not as reflective.
