Best to just leave Indexes in there. It's not hurting anybody.

And a concordance (Search) ≠ human-curated Index.

You can read more detailed reasons/examples in those threads above. Me and Hitch (and other MR users) have had many discussions about it in the past 12+ years.

I'm not convinced an index is useful in an ebook. I'm not seeing anything that makes it more useful than word search. Seeing how many entries there are? You can search. Not sure of a word that has variants? Search for a stem.

And not a fan of Mortimer Adler.
