This tends to be one of the main problems with all of our shifts towards digital media. The lifetime on information has dropped off pretty radically as we've moved towards newer forms of storage. The usable lifetime on bricks could be measured in 1000's of years, the lifetime for paper was 100's if not more, while items like CDs are having recovery issues after 10's of years. We may reach a point where we're simply copying back and forth constantly because our media ages so fast - kind of a reverse singularity.

That's a natural consequence of information density. If your books had lettering so small that you required a microscope to read them, a single ink blot, a single tear could wipe out entire chapters of text.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
