Why do you feel that ebooks are not a good choice to last 20 years or longer, as compared to paper books?

Look back in the thread. I'm just addressing people's concern if it happens to where they won't have access to them. I don't think anyone will lose access to them but it's not guaranteed. As long as these companies stay afloat and we upgrade our readers I'm sure access will be there. But if people are really worried about it paper books are probably the way to go for them.
