Jurors have a lot of down-time
Not multi-tasking.
I read all of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep during a trial, and I didn't have it on me (much less read it) in the jury box or at any time that I should have been discussing the case. Actually, I never got to discuss the case other than an informal chat with the judge after I was dismissed - I was the alternate.
I don't think I would have been allowed to read while in the jury box or during deliberations. The rest of the time, jurors are supposed to not discuss the case.
