Frames and iframes aren't supported AFAIK by any epub readers; you could use a table, but then the index column would scroll with the rest.

Why not just turn the index into a TOC (toc.ncx, not part of the HTML) that you can pop up whenever you need it, and which doesn't take up valuable screen real estate when you don't need it? Looking at the HTML in the right frame, all the index entries are <h1> or <h3> tags, so just use Calibre's TOC creation tool and hit "Generate TOC from major headings". Then throw away the HTML for the frameset and the left frame, and keep the right frame only.
