This handheld e-reader has effectively replaced my Kindle, and I can't argue with the price

ZDNET reviews the DuRobo Krono, a $280 smartphone-sized ePaper Android tablet marketed as a distraction-free focus hub, noting its 6.1-inch Carta 1200 (300 ppi) display with Smart Dial, Spark voice dictation, Libby AI for transcription and summaries, excellent battery life from a 3,950mAh cell lasting weeks with reading-focused use, and 128GB storage; the lightweight device impressed the reviewer enough to replace a Kindle while traveling and is available for preorder with shipping slated for late January 2026.
