I have used LaTex to do a couple of book indexes and used the Glossary 
function in Moodle. But I did not find these useful for eBooks.

In theory an index does more than a search facility, as the index says 
which is the primary entry to look at (as judged by the indexer). But I 
don't think the average reader takes any notice of this and just gets 
confused.
