The tech world has all kinds of accessories, and the DuRoBo brings competition to a surprising device.
DuRoBo has shared details on the launch of Moodi: a wireless, Bluetooth page-turning remote that uses cute (replaceable) emoji caps. DuRoBo is the company behind the Krono ePaper Focus Hub. This remote is said to “make long reading sessions more comfortable and enjoyable.” Typically, users hold their device using their thumb or finger to turn a page.
DuRoBo says its Moodi is designed to “relieve the tension” typically experienced during longer reading sessions. With its small form factor, the Moodi offers a “soft, springy” and satisfying response when pressing the keys. Moodi offers three modes: Reading, Multimedia and Viewing. For reading, consumers can hold Moodi in one hand and enjoy a subtle, tactile push to turn the page.
Multimedia Mode brings easy play, pause or track skip controls for audiobooks, music and podcasts. The browsing option is centered around browsing online posts.
With a 90mAh battery inside an ergonomic frame, the Moodi can run for “weeks” on a single charge. Plus, its built-in lanyard helps keep it comfortably (and safely) on your wrist for maximum chill potential. Additionally, interchangeable emoji caps are a highlight for Moodi, giving consumers options such as “meh, cheeky, sleepy, hype, vibin’ and silly.”
DuRoBo’s Moody is available $30.99 US at Amazon The company adds that Moodi is compatible with a “wide variety” of e-readers, tablets and smartphones.

Interestingly, when my colleague Nicholas Sutrich brought this up, he mentioned that Books had a similar product. You can get to know Boox better pocket e-readers; however, there is that a small, touchable page turner. Boox’s version is called Tappy and takes a different shape than what DuRoBo did with Moodi. Anyway, it’s interesting to see the competition enter such a device.
DuRoBo showed off the Krono at CES 2026, and it was without controversy the most interesting e-reader of the event. According to Sutrich, the Krono is off to a good start with a minimalist, phone-sized e-reader vibe. DuRoBo also made the experience simpler than others, but Sutrich said, “I’d also like to see more options for available features.”
Android Central’s Take
As I said at the top of the article, this wireless page turner can be weird in a good way. I can almost imagine the satisfying clicking sensation of the DuRoBo going. If you’re a PC gamer or know someone who has a fancy looking keyboard, ask them why. I can almost guarantee it’s because of the sound. A mechanical keyboard that sounds good is like half the reason I have one. Also, what DuRoBo is doing with this little page turner sounds like maximum chill reading time.
