The other concern I suppose is that paper is archival - 200 years
from now someone can look at a book.
Only if you print on expensive archival quality paper. Most books
printed today would be lucky to last 50 years because of the acid
content in the paper.
Will a website still exist?
While I'm not sure about a website in particular, I think digital
content is more likely to exist. So if you make it a website and let
archive.org pick up a copy (which they do automatically) and keep it up,
but also give many people pdfs or text files, all while being sure to
keep a readable copy over the years as you change computers I think it
might well last.
But 200 years is a long time.
