It’s cool that you can just pick up and read a book from 100 years ago with no special tools or procedures or conversion software

@hannah

Unfortunately 100 years old books might be subject to the acid paper issue so you can still have a permanent data retrieval error. 1800s or older though and it is probably safe.

@Vrimj Ugh. 1920s brittle book pages are the worst! They literally snap in half like a filo pastry wafer.
