Given that the Harvard Classics/Index looks to be mostly split up into volumes anyway, and indexed on a per-volume basis, would it be a possible consideration to excerpt just those parts of the Index/Leaflet which apply to a particular volume and stick that in the front/back of the corresponding volume, with linkage?

And then you could make a pared down version of the full Index as a separate e-book with just a simple volume/number of references cite for each subject and direct the reader to open up the corresponding volume and look up the full thing via the handy built-in linked references which would now be in the latter.

After all, that seems like a fairly handy place to put those sort of things, directly where they would apply and thus be at one's fingertips.

But then it would be a lot of work, as would creating an omnibus edition for the lot (which no doubt most readers would choke on anyway).
