Here's what will happen if the power grid goes out-- the majority of the population of the world will die. Those who survive will be the toughest and those already so poor they didn't much notice the difference. There will no longer be taxes to run the governments, and there will no longer be governments to run the libraries. The people will be too busy trying to not die to worry about pampering books. If the power grid goes out, or WWIII happens, the majority of paper books will be moldy, sodden lumps or ashes within one or two generations. Anyone who thinks that, post-apocalypse, digital books will disappear and paper books will be alive and well either isn't thinking or is pushing an emotional argument.

Thank you. Have been trying to figure out how to verbalize what you just did.
At least ebooks on sd cards or in computers can be kept safe until the power comes back on.
And it will come back on.
Eventually.
