I prefer paper books, but I can definitely understand someone reading a good novel, especially a long one… or a novel in a series of novels… wanting the ability to do a quick search to look up some character or event they’ve forgotten about.
I’m not a Frank Herbert fan, but I know his books are pretty dense and there’s a fair number of them, so if you’re a Frank Herbert fan, especially one reading the series for the first time, having the ability to do a quick search back to the third book when you’re reading the fifth would be pretty helpful.
Another good example would be Tolkien. I assume you don’t think Tolkien is bad fiction.
I really appreciate the ability to reference terms and characters with an e-reader.
I feel like if you need that it’s either a nonfiction which should have an appendix or a bad fiction.

Or just fiction with a bunch of characters?
I am non-native English speaker and the ability to lookup words easily was very helpful for me.
