Difference between Present tense and Present Progressive

Present tense is different from present time (i.e. at the current time)

"I'm reading a new book right now" .You probably meant "present time", not "present tense".

In English Grammar, the Present Tense is used to talk about something that is going on now
(currently) or that is true now and at any time

Present-tense is a grammatical thing, which in today's English is seen as inflected verb

forms. Present-tense (verb forms) is used in constructions for various uses, and one of those
main uses (i.e. a typical use) is to describe a specific situation that is occurring in the current
time, i.e. "present time". Another main use of present-tense is to describe habitual
situations.

Example 1

I drive to the store every day. <-- habitual

I am driving to the store to get my groceries. <-- current time

In #1, the simple present-tense is being used to describe a habitual situation (and we are
looking at the whole of each situation, from an external viewpoint). It does not necessarily
mean that I am currently driving to the store right now, and actually, it implies (due to the
presence of the phrase "every day") that I am not currently driving to the store right now.

In #2, the present-progressive construction is being used to describe an ongoing dynamic

situation: I am currently driving to the store right now.

Also, note that both #1 and #2 are in present-tense. There is the present-tense verb "drive"
in #1, and the present-tense verb "am" in #2.
