An e-reader is typically smaller and lighter than a tablet computer, making it easier to carry around. It usually has a touch screen interface that allows users to interact with the device more intuitively. E-readers are designed for reading books and other digital content on them, while tablets can be used for a variety of tasks such as web browsing, playing games, watching videos, and more.
