Post 2: What is a book?

A book is a written piece of text that can be entertaining, persuasive or informational.  A good entertaining book is an escape from the real world into your imagination.  Good books don't just tell you a story, they paint a picture in your mind.  Not all books are very good, but they are still books.  The content of books doesn't matter.  A book can be on paper or on electronics, it doesn't matter.  A book is still a book even if it is on a Kindle or iPhone.  Sure, I like to hold the physical paper book, but e-books are way more convenient.  I can have 200 books on my kindle that doesn't take up very much space, but 200 paper books take up a lot of space.  Also, it would be much easier to take a kindle to school with an 850 page book on it than take the actual book which doesn't even fit in my backpack.  Also, the length of a book doesn't matter.  A 20 page picture book is a book, and so is a 500 page novel.  Non-fiction books give information about science, history or anything else and they are books just like fiction books.
