"Longevity" and "Digital" cannot stay together in the same sentence.
If you want to be future proof, you need a paper copy of that same book. And not a pulp one, a good, well manufactured edition.
ebooks are the modern equivalent of oral tradition. It stands as long as memory (once neurological, now magnetic) stands.
If Homer didn not put the Iliad on paper, we'd lost it.
So, don't bother with longevity and conservation.
Buy your book, read it, and forget it (the file, I mean, not the content...)
