DuRoBo launches Krono, an Android-based ePaper hub for reading and writing
Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, DuRoBo’s Krono ePaper Focus Hub is coming to buyers in the United States and mainland Europe, offering a dedicated device for reading, note-taking, and basic audio use without the distractions of a full tablet. New accessories are also launching alongside it, including fitted cases and a Bluetooth remote.
Krono uses a 6.13-inch Carta 1200 ePaper display with a 300ppi resolution. The screen is designed for text clarity rather than color or motion, making it better suited to long reading sessions than conventional displays. Glare is kept low, and the panel remains readable across different lighting conditions.
AiPaper Reader is an AI E Ink device for focused reading
Viwoods has introduced the AiPaper Reader, a 138g Android 16-powered e-reader that adds on-page AI assistance. The compact device lets readers verify terms, translate passages, or summarize figures directly within text. Viwoods thinks this will be of particular use to professional and academic users who read for long stretches or while traveling.
AiPaper Reader keeps answers beside the text rather than diverting users to another app or browser. Its 6.13-inch 300ppi E Ink Carta 1300 display features a low-reflectance layer and adjustable front light for comfortable reading in different environments.
