I agree here. I have plenty of material, backed-up from 3 PDAs previous, and from my PC pre-2001, that I can still access and use... because I've preserved the software that reads it, or because I've converted it to newer formats. The ease of doing these conversions, compared to "converting" paper books before or after they become decayed/torn/wet/burned/lost, means you generally only have yourself to blame for losing old data.
