However -- print still works, as long as you have light (and
know how to read, of course). :-)
And the ink hasn't faded.
Yes -- but since most print is carbon based, it will not fade.
The paper itself may disintegrate or darken enough to make reading more
difficult.
Colored inks do fade -- especially red. And the inks commonly
used for handwriting do fade too -- unless you are using India ink.

And then there is the output from thermal printers!
Well ... yes -- but who publishes (or published) books using
thermal printers? :-) Presumably the Kindle would mostly be used for
books which you purchase and download, not for self publication. :-)
Check out http://www.lulu.com for self publishing.
I didn't see anything which suggested that the print was done
with thermal printing. (Of course, I did not have Flash or JavaScript
enabled -- but would not unless I *needed* their services. :-) And if
they wanted to use thermal printing, I would look elsewhere. :-)
Enjoy,
DoN.
