You're right. They could have used a person who can't read very well, puts the screen light all the way up, and lettertype very large, requiring him to turn pages many times.
Instead of tapping he might use the 'swipe' method, which uses even more battery on the touch screen.
or they could have used someone who has very sharp eyes, can read the smallest font size, uses no screen light, no wifi, taps instead of swipes, and reads only txt or mobi, instead of PDF's.
