You're talking about a device with a D-pad, and no touch screen. That's how keyboards work on such devices. It being bad isn't unexpected or noteworthy.

EDIT: got confused between "Kindle" and "Kindle Touch". To me it is obvious that "Kindle" has no touch screen and that keyboard input must be via the D-pad. Consequently I assumed the complaint re:keyboard not being touch would apply to a product that actually had a touchscreen.

In short: I agree with my parent comment. neither unexpected or noteworthy.
