I used sci-fi as an example (as it was my motivating use-case), but my point was that the suggestion basically is an exact subset of what x-ray actually turned out to be... they provide a file along with the book that tells where each character shows up, who the people on the current page/chapter/book are, definitions for book specific terms that show up on the current page/chapter/book, etc...

If that's a feature that you want, you might want to look at the Kindle readers.

Here's an excerpt from my current book:

Under Terms, current page:

Danube: The Danube is a river in Central Europe, the continent's second longest after the Volga....[snip]


For the whole book there are 19 terms defined and 43 characters...

Not every book has it, but a good number do and it's very useful.
