I work for a small, niche publisher. We have a steady seller that we're running low on, but it's not high enough volume to warrant going back to press with it. Given my zeal for ebooks, I've been given the job of turning this into an ebook as our first volley into the format.

This book, as most of our books, contains an index. I'm curious how others on the forum would prefer to see indices handled in an ebook. I'm reluctant to eliminate it entirely and rely on people using the search function. I've sold them on providing this book in non-DRMed Mobipocket and LIT formats, so whatever method I choose needs to work with this.
