A '''book''' ([[Spanish language|Spanish]]: ''libro'', [[French language|French]]: ''livre'', [[German language|German]]: ''Buch'', [[Dutch language|Dutch]]: ''boek'', [[Greek language|Greek]]: βιβλίο, [[Russian language|Russian]]: книга) is a collection of written words, usually on paper but increasingly being found in electronic formats such as Kindles and iPads. The [[Bible]] is an example of a book (in fact, the word "Bible" is derived from the Greek word for "book."), as well as a collection of books. Books are often used for educational purposes in the form of text books, although there is concern about the accuracy of the information contain in some of them.  Any finite collection of books can be bound together to form a new book.
