Benefits of Reading

As an intellectual thing, a publication is prototypically a composition of these great length that it
requires a substantial investment of time to write and a still significant, though not so
comprehensive, investment time to read. In the restricted sense, a publication is a self explanatory
section or part of a longer composition, a use that reflects the fact that, in antiquity, long works
needed to be written on many scrolls, and each scroll needed to be identified from the book it
included. So, for instance, each component of Aristotles Physics is called a book. In the
unrestricted sense, a book is the compositional whole of that such segments, whether called
chapters or books or parts, are parts.

The academic material in a tangible book does not need to be a composition, nor even be called a
book. Books can consist just of drawings, engravings, or photos, or such matters as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. At a physical book, the pages may be left blank or may contain an abstract
group of lines as support for continuing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
autograph book, a laptop, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some bodily books are made with pages
thick and sturdy enough to support other physical items, like a record or photograph album. Books
may be distributed in digital form as e-books and 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 every non-serial publication complete in one volume (book) or a
finite number of volumes (even a publication like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time), in
contrast to sequential books like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. Novels are also sold
everywhere. Google has estimated that as of 2010, approximately 130,000,000 different titles had
been published. In some wealthier countries, the sale of printed books has decreased due to the
increased usage of e-books.

In the 2000s, as a result of growth in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the
opportunity to share texts through digital means became an attractive option for media publishers.
The term e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it refers to a book-length publication 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 screen
like a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; or by way of a portable e-ink screen device
known as an e-book reader, such as the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo eReader, or
the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers try to mimic the experience of reading a print publication by
employing this technology, since the displays on e-book readers are not as reflective.
