Android Central Labs is a weekly column devoted to deep dives, experiments, and a focused look into the tech you use. It covers phones, tablets, and everything in between.

E-readers have grown leaps and bounds as a category over the last year, thanks to a ton of new players entering the market and significant advancements in E Ink technology. You may not have heard of DuRoBo before, but this new company's first device, Krono, is doing something unique that attempts to set it apart from the pack.
