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.

Access to your paper books isn’t guaranteed either, and there is no way to “back up” your paper books. If they are destroyed, lost, or stolen, they are gone. You’d need to buy them again if you wanted them.
Digital books don’t take up space, and can backed up pretty easily, with just a little work. I have most of my digital books in Calibre, and have been working out the best way to keep them safe by storing the backups on a couple of different thumb drives that I keep in places other than my house.
There are few guarantees in life. But being proactive with data backups is something anyone can manage.
