e-reader
Portable library device
An e-reader is a handheld electronic device designed primarily for reading digital books and documents.
Unlike tablets or phones, e-readers typically use e-ink displays that mimic paper and reduce eye strain, with battery life lasting weeks rather than hours: I loaded a dozen novels onto my e-reader for the trip.
The Kindle is the dominant brand.
