"Trying to read or think on a phone never quite works. Notifications interrupt articles halfway through, feeds wait one swipe away from whatever you were concentrating on, and even long reads become just another tab competing for attention. E‑readers tried to solve this, but most stopped at books and stayed locked into one ecosystem. DuRoBo, a Dutch e‑paper specialist, is bringing Krono to CES 2026 in Las Vegas with a different ambition, treating focus, reflection, and idea capture as equally important."
"Krono is a pocket‑sized smart ePaper focus hub that has made waves in Europe and is now entering the US market. It wraps a 6.13‑inch E Ink Carta 1200 display with 300 PPI clarity into a minimalist, mechanical‑inspired body that measures 154 × 80 × 9 mm and weighs about 173 g. It is for capturing and shaping thoughts with on‑device AI, ambient audio, and a Smart Dial that feels more tactile than tapping glass."
Krono is a pocket-sized smart ePaper focus hub with a 6.13-inch E Ink Carta 1200 display at 300 PPI, wrapped in a minimalist, mechanical-inspired body measuring 154 × 80 × 9 mm and weighing about 173 g. The paper-like screen, anti-glare etching, and dual-tone frontlight enable comfortable long reads of books, saved articles, or PDFs without backlit eye strain. A tactile Smart Dial and an Axis bar with eight breathing lights provide analog-like navigation and ambient feedback for flipping pages, adjusting brightness or volume, and opening Spark. Spark captures dictated thoughts, transcribes speech-to-text, and runs on-device AI summaries to organize ideas.
