Actually, before the advent of touchscreen GPS units, navigating an alpha and numeric grid using a 4-way rocker arm was quite common. I still use my Garmin handheld GPS to input nav data, update/change waypoint names, etc. Its not that probematic.
Before touchscreen phones, kids were texting in their pockets using the 2=abc, 3=def, 4=ghi, etc without even having to look at the phone.
Navigating a much larger "keyboard" should be no real challenge. Finding a large title, word, whatever, shouldn't be that difficult, especially if you only need key words and don't have to type the whole title perfectly.
Of course, I dunno how it will work with the Kobo dictionary/search. But with dictionaries, you are only looking up one word at a time, anyway.
