This is only true if the ebook is just an exact copy of the print book. If the ebook is formatted properly, then all references to other parts of the book, as well as the index will link back to the relevant parts of the book.
It's not a drawback of the format, it's laziness on the part of the author/publisher. Done properly, indexes and reference points are actually easier to use in an ebook.
