Of course, given the growth in storage capacity being brought about by

immediate purchase, for retrieval from a library archive. I know that the
British Library has a long running digitisation and archiving project,
although some past texts and recordings are just too old and fragile to be
converted, and it is likely that eventually these will be lost forever.
You miss the point, as techno types often do. There's a business model that
must be considered. Even if it's SUPER cheap, it's still a cost, and if
you're not making money, dump the cost.
