The Antichrist will censor Catholic truth and the true Bible in digital books. The only way to preserve the truth is in hardcopy transcribed directly from earlier texts in harcopy.
Impossible.
Only eBooks with "digital rights management" can be shut off, disabled, etc.
Many eBooks are DRM-free so as long as you have the file, you can read it whenever you want, on whatever device you want. Only a computer virus or hard drive crash could take it away from you (and it would be your fault in that case, for failing to keep a backup of the files)
That having been said, I admit that books are special. There's something about that physical connection with a book. It's so much easier to concentrate on the contents. eBooks are NOT 100% superior to a physical book. There are better in some ways, worse in some ways.
MP3s, however, are 100% better IN EVERY WAY than a CD of music. MP3s can be sorted into folders, copied/pasted if you want to hear one song multiple times in a playlist, easily make playlists, combine your favorite songs from X CDs, they take up less space, you can store hundreds of CDs on your PC, just a mouse-click away, complete random access, much easier to browse, no having to dig out physical CDs and insert them in your player, etc.
There are improvements like
CD --> DVD --> Blu-ray DVD
2GB RAM ---> 8 GB RAM ---> 32 GB RAM
100 MB Hard drive --> 1 TB hard drive --> 4 TB hard drive
Which are simply better in every way -- where the older technology is rendered completely obsolete and has no upside.
Phone books have no upside over Googling "Plumber (my city) (my state)"
Multi-day, regular Internet outages just aren't a thing in a 1st-world country like America. And in a collapse scenario or catastrophe, I don't think we'll need a phone book either :)
