DuRoBo Moodi follows the success of DuRoBo's Krono ePaper Focus Hub, and as the tech company's first standalone page-turning remote, it recognizes that, for readers, physical strain is often as distracting as blue light. This wireless page turner is designed to pair with e-readers and other compatible devices, providing a comfortable handheld solution for reading and more.
Moodi, once connected to a compatible device via Bluetooth 5.4, supports three modes: Reading Mode for one-handed page turns, Multimedia Mode to play, pause and skip within audiobooks, podcasts and playlists, and Browsing Mode for articles and long-form content.
Moodi's satisfying form can be accessorized with magnetic, quick-swap emoji button caps in expressive styles like cheeky, drowsy, and goofy so that the device isn't just functional, it's personal.
