Presumably all books which are being published now are at least being kept in digital format even if they are not necessarily always available to the public.

I think it is a very achievable feat to digitise the sum of human publishing. Once achieved I think it will rank up there with the mapping of the human genome as one of our great achievments.

Obviously the end point will never be clear but at some point the major libraries of the world will throw their hands up and say that to all intents and purposes their work is done.
