Hi all,
Actually, having an index in a print book is a good thing. Having an
index in a Bookshare book may not be. You need to remember that books,
in the main are written for printing, not for inclusion on the Internet
or for use in a computer.
It may be that in future books will be written in something akin to XML
so that one could read along, find a reference and "click" on it and be
taken to a whole new chapter or page or section of the book or to
something totally outside the original text. Books may eventually
become as fluid and as nonliniar as web pages, but it hasn't happened
yet. That's why you need indeces right now.
Ann P.
