Advantages of Reading

As an intellectual thing, a publication is prototypically a makeup of these great length that it takes a
considerable investment of time to write and a still significant, though not so extensive, investment
time to browse. This sense of book has a restricted and an unrestricted sense. In the restricted
sense, a book is a self-sufficient section or part of a longer article, a usage that reflects the simple
fact that, in antiquity, long works needed to be written on several scrolls, and every scroll needed
to be identified from the book it contained. Therefore, for instance, each part of Aristotles Physics
is referred to as a book. In the unrestricted sense, a book is the compositional whole of which such
sections, whether called chapters or books or parts, are parts.

The intellectual content in a tangible publication need not be a makeup, nor even be called a novel.
Novels can consist only of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such things as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. In a physical book, the pages can be left blank or may feature an abstract
set of lines as support for continuing entrances, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
autograph book, a laptop, a diary, or a sketchbook. Some physical books are made with pages
thick and sturdy enough to support other physical objects, like a scrapbook or photograph album.
Books could be distributed in electronic form as e-books along with other formats.

Although in ordinary academic parlance a monograph is understood to be a specialist academic
work, rather than a reference work on a single scholarly subject, in library and information science
monograph denotes more broadly any non-serial publication complete in one volume (book) 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". Books are also sold elsewhere. Books can also
be borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, approximately 130,000,000
distinct titles had been released. In some wealthier nations, the selling of published books has
diminished due to the increased usage of e-books.

In the 2000s, due to the rise 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"digital book"; it refers to some book-length book in digital
form. An e-book is generally made available through the world wide web, but also on CD-ROM
along with other forms. E-Books may be read either using a computing device with an LED display
like a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; or by means of a mobile e-ink screen
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 using this technology, since the screens on e-book readers are much less reflective.
