Benefits of Reading
As an intellectual object, a publication is prototypically a composition of these great length that it
takes a considerable investment of time to compose and a still considerable, though not so
extensive, investment time to browse. In the limited sense, a publication is a self explanatory
section or portion of a longer composition, a usage that reflects the fact that, in antiquity, long
functions had to be written on several scrolls, and every scroll needed to be identified by the book
it included. So, for example, each component of Aristotles Physics is called a book. From the
unrestricted sense, a publication is your compositional whole of which these segments, whether
called chapters or books or parts, are parts.
The intellectual content in a physical book does not need to be a composition, nor be called a
novel. Novels can consist only of drawings, engravings, or photos, or such matters as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. In a physical book, the pages can be left blank or may contain an abstract
set of outlines as support for ongoing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
autograph book, a laptop, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some physical publications are made out of
pages thick and sturdy enough to encourage 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 normal academic parlance that 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 describes more broadly any non-serial publication complete in 1 volume (book) or a
finite number of volumes (even a publication like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time),
compared to serial publications like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. An avid reader or reader of
novels is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". Books are also sold elsewhere. Google has
estimated that as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000 distinct titles had been released. In some wealthier
nations, the sale of published books has diminished because of 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 via digital means became an attractive alternative for media publishers.
Thus, the"e-book" was made. The expression e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it refers
to a book-length publication in digital form. An e-book is usually made available through the
internet, 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 called an e-book reader, such as the Sony Reader,
Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo eReader, or the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers attempt to mimic the
experience of reading a print book by using this technology, since the displays on e-book readers
are not as reflective.
