It's not really important anyway, since they're not required by Bookshare and most people don't bother with them.

Since most authors don't index their own books anyway, perhaps it is
equally redundant.

Your analogy is faulty. Putting Do Not Eat warnings on inedible objects is
simply redundant. Knowing what an author thinks is important is not.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] indexes?


May be a stupid question, but why does one need an index when any
decent computer has a search function?  Sure, it may be nice to know
what the author felt was important enough to put in an index, but that
seems about as important as the do not eat warnings printed all over
inedible objects.  I've tried to include indexes when I scan just
because I figured if nobody wanted it they could remove it, but the
whole practice seems rather pointless.
