Nature always finds a way. The way you get the information may change, but it will still be there.

PS I don't know if you heard, but there's this thing called the Internet, and you can get anything you want from pretty much anywhere in the world. And then there are these things called eReaders, where you can read a book on them. And you can pretty much find free software to convert any book into an electronic version for the eReader.
