Regarding the need for decoders to read ebook formats in the future, is that really so different from trying to read the languages of forgotten civilizations today? I'd argue that it's substantially easier since machine formats tend to have very fixed vocabularies. For example, a bunch of us were able to reverse engineer the LRF format in a few months working in our spare time. Contrast that with the years it typically takes dedicated professionals to "decode" a lost language.
