For both Nichole and I (my dyslexia), it is easier to go to a page number (1-3
characters) than trying to type a text string; less risk of errors or
transposing numbers and such.
It cannot hurt to have an index and it can seriously help people easily
forgotten like our family.

Not to contradict you - you are in a much better position than I to know
Nichole's limitations and capabilities - but it would seem to me that to
use
an index - that is, finding the term in the alphabetical list in some way
other than just reading through until it comes up - and then finding the
page or pages that one is referred to would be at least as difficult, if
not
more difficult, as using a search function on whatever device is being used
to read the book.
