If we now went suddently back to the energy levels of the Middle Ages, books would be fine, they could be read, and they could also be written, of course. What would be your estimate of the longevity of Amazon, for example? If we're projecting into the future, let's give a time scale, otherwise it doesn't even make any sense. The future, the future... when is that? 50 years from now? 100? 1000? This is not irrelevant.
