I initially though this device might be a nice entry level reader for kids. But with the navigation issues it just looks like a poor choice for anyone.
Publishers might get more money per book as Kindle-only exclusive, but compare that to the increased volume of sales if they would release in epub, mobi, pdf, bbeb, etc... They would actually see more (much more) profit, as well as sell more books to the public, and get the much-loved work into the hands of their beloved readers.
