schizoidmanThis USB flash drive can only store 8KB of data, but will last you 200 years
gregorumAn actual book stores more data than that and for longer. At that point, why not just etch the data onto a metal plate or something? 8K is only a few pages of text at 12pt. It could easily fit onto two sides of a small-ish metal plate, etched in 8pt or so, and it would last, potentially, for millennia.

Than an etched metal plate?
USB drives don’t mix well with water
Dunno, I’ve put several through a washing machine and gone swimming with mine. Electronic usually are fine with water. Batteries are not.
Just let it dey out and it works fine. Not so easy with paper.

I had suggested a metal plate, not paper.
