Unfortunately, I think you make the gap much too small. I have an ebook version of a book first published in
1996 whose (Big 5) publisher clearly just pushed a paper copy through OCR and didn't properly proofread.
The fact that publishers in the 90's lacked the foresight to keep digital copies of texts for an entirely foreseeable ebook future makes me very much less confident that "ebooks will never go out of print."
