I love it for the navigation. The touch screen navigation gives it a nice smart phone feel to it , a sort of "today's" technology. You also have to remember the LCD screen does go into sleep mode with no activity. You can set it to 10 secs, 30 secs. or 60 secs. I have mine set to 30 secs.
Displaying the book cover art is a nice touch and again something that should be included in todays products. We have the technology.
To me the Kindle and the such feel very outdated. sure they get the job done but so doesn't a rotary phone.

That's one of the reasons I love it.

overall this is such a great device.
