But if you set a book free on the internet, people download it, back it up, convert it into different formats. It's not ephemeral at all.

Larger sites, like Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive have mirrors, and larger book sites sell CD/DVDs of their libraries.

Conversely, modern paper simply does not last as well as the paper made in earlier centuries.
