-고 있어요 is most often translated with the present continuous tense in English. Nevertheless, with context, other translations might be acceptable too.

Exactly. The -ing form if you want :)
In English, progressive and continuous tenses seem to be the same. I didn't know about this distinction in other languages...

i agree. im trying to figure out what the difference is. It seems that someone who made this took read as being the past tense.

Can 무거운 책을 also be used to mean a heavy book i.e. emotionally draining book like in English? Or is it only used for weight of an item in Korean?
