Well, it was just an easy "worst case" test to put ebooks through.

Cellphones:
  • are skinny/small
  • can turn landscape
  • read out loud
  • usually have "Night Mode" (changing colors).

All the "worst case" tests right there!

If you have an actual ereader (Nook/Kobo/Kindle), you can do similar:

Even bumping up the font size a few notches breaks badly coded books. (Like outside margins growing even larger, giving you even LESS space for big text.)
