Just choosing a jury will be difficult also. The DOJ attorneys may exclude those owning an iPad or Mac. The other side those with Kindles or users of a Kindle app.

This may be surprising to Mobile Readers, but the vast majority of Americans don't own an EBR or Ios device. Jury selection will not be a problem on that issue.
The juries should be able to understand the issues. These issues aren't as technical or complex as the issues in the Oracle patent case, and apparently the jury did OK there.
Civil jury verdicts can be appealed from , reversed, and modified, as well.
