If you own a DuRoBo Krono e‑Reader or you enjoy extended reading sessions on similar devices, DuRoBo has a new accessory you should know about. The company recently introduced Moodi, a compact wireless page‑turning remote designed to improve comfort and convenience while reading. Built for one‑handed use and lightweight enough to carry anywhere, Moodi aims to make long reading sessions more ergonomic and enjoyable.
Weighing just 18 grams, the Moodi remote features a smooth, rounded pebble silhouette that fits comfortably in the palm. DuRoBo equipped the device with a dual‑button layout that uses the brand’s “paw‑pad” tactile feedback—an intentionally soft, springy click intended to be satisfying without being loud. That tactile response helps users turn pages, scroll through content, or control audio playback without having to shift their grip or reach for an e‑reader touchscreen, which reduces hand strain over time.
Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.4, which provides reliable pairing and responsive control across typical reading distances. Moodi offers three distinct control modes to match different tasks. Reading Mode is tuned for single‑handed page turns and delivers a gentle tactile click optimized for e‑books and PDFs. Multimedia Mode adjusts the button functions to control playback and track skipping for audiobooks and music. Browsing Mode is intended for incremental scrolling during web research, articles, or long documents, allowing fine control without repeatedly touching the screen.
Moodi also includes a small personalization element: swappable magnetic emoji caps that snap onto the main buttons. The kit ships with six expressive caps—labeled “meh,” “cheeky,” “drowsy,” “hype,” “vibin’,” and “goofy”—so you can change the remote’s look to match your mood or aesthetic. While these caps are primarily decorative, they do make the device feel more personal and help quickly distinguish between left and right controls by touch.
Power comes from a built‑in 90mAh battery. According to DuRoBo, that capacity is sufficient for several weeks of typical use between charges, depending on how often you activate the remote and which mode you use. The low weight and long battery life make Moodi a practical companion for commuters, students, and anyone who spends extended periods reading on a device.
Designers focused on simplicity and portability: Moodi’s compact form factor slides into a pocket or pouch and can be used comfortably for hours. The three operating modes, tactile “paw‑pad” buttons, and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity make it suitable not only for e‑readers like the DuRoBo Krono but also for tablets, phones, and other Bluetooth‑enabled devices that accept basic media or page‑turning commands.
The Moodi remote is available starting at $30.99 directly from DuRoBo’s online store. For readers who want to reduce repetitive touchscreen interaction, add a layer of comfort to long reading sessions, or control audiobooks hands‑free, Moodi offers a compact, affordable solution with a few playful customization options.
