Kindle does this out of necessity (no touch gestures) and it works reasonably well, given the hardware limitations.

Reasonable people will differ as to whether it is worth the engineering effort to deliver what will at best be an inferior web browsing experience when you compare to most tablet devices. My impression is that it would be worth fixing a few things to make it more useable, rather than let it linger in its current state.
