What value was there to having alphanumeric entry on the device?
Is this mainly for searching for titles, passages, etc.?

Yes, but I seldom use it. You can make notes also but I seldom do that
ever with paper books. The Paperwhite has a virtual keyboard. One thing
the PW doesn't have afaik is the text to speech or audio books but I
never used that feature anyway.
