The absence of such apps may be perceived as an advantage, as the user may more easily focus on reading. Drawbacks of this kind of display include a slow refresh rate and (usually) a grayscale-only display, which makes it unsuitable for sophisticated interactive applications as those found on tablets. This yields much longer battery life - the battery can last for several weeks - and better readability, similar to that of paper even in sunlight. It is similar in form factor to a tablet computer, but often features electronic paper rather than an LCD screen. Overview Īn e-reader is a device designed as a convenient way to read e-books.
