At the extreme end you have Terry Pratchett, who is all too happy to explain you the origin of the Librarian 30 times. The same with Granny Weatherwax, Carrot, and other landmarks. It's one of the main reasons I stopped reading Pratchett.

As I read the Baroque Cycle, I think the dictionary on the Kindle was created specifically for Neal Stephenson books.

In fiction I prefer less infodump, especially over historical/political/scientific topics that I can look up if I don't know them. It is too easy to bog down the text because where do you draw the line on explaining factual things, like types of rifles? I'm sure there are whole books devoted to matchlock rifles.
