E-readers are designed mainly for reading ebooks and use e-ink displays that are easier on the eyes than backlit screens. Smartphones have more advanced capabilities than basic cell phones, allowing users to access the internet, email, apps and more via touchscreens without physical keyboards.

MOBILE DEVICE

What is a mobile device?

A mobile device is a general term for any type of handheld computer. These devices are designed to
be extremely portable, and they can often fit in your hand. Some mobile devices—like tablets, e-
readers, and smartphones—are powerful enough to do many of the same things you can do with a
desktop or laptop computer.

Tablet computers

Like laptops, tablet computers are designed to be portable.


However, they provide a different computing experience. The
most obvious difference is that tablet computers don't have
keyboards or touchpads. Instead, the entire screen is touch-
sensitive, allowing you to type on a virtual keyboard and use
your finger as a mouse pointer.

Tablet computers can't necessarily do everything traditional


computers can do. For many people, a traditional computer like
a desktop or laptop is still needed in order to use some
programs. However, the convenience of a tablet computer
means it may be ideal as a second computer.

E-readers

E-book readers—also called e-readers—are similar to tablet


computers, except they are mainly designed for reading e-
books (digital, downloadable books). Notable examples include
the Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, and Kobo. Most e-readers
use an e-ink display, which is easier to read than a traditional
computer display. You can even read in bright sunlight, just like if you
were reading a regular book.

You don't need an e-reader to read e-books. They can also be read
on tablets, smartphones, laptops, and desktops.

Smartphones

A smartphone is a more powerful version of a traditional cell phone. In


addition to the same basic features—phone calls, voicemail, text messaging
—smartphones can connect to the Internet over Wi-Fi or a cellular
network (which requires purchasing a monthly data plan). This means you
can use a smartphone for the same things you would normally do on a
computer, such as checking your email, browsing the Web, or shopping
online.

Most smartphones use a touch-sensitive screen, meaning there isn't a


physical keyboard on the device. Instead, you'll type on a virtual keyboard and use your fingers to
interact with the display. Other standard features include a high-quality digital camera and the
ability to play digital music and video files. For many people, a smartphone can actually replace
electronics like an old laptop, digital music player, and digital camera in the same device.
