You are in my mind and in my heart. This is a constant thought that I have. I grew up in a house where books, vinyls, cds, slides, tapes and other media were everywhere. Some on display, others archived in boxes. Large part of my childhood was spent with me exploring through that stuff and creating custom mixtapes with songs that I really liked. I still have a lot of them.
I also remember my 10 yo self, designing in Corel draw my own labels and printing them to fit the tape case.
I always ask my self "what is my kid going to explore? My Spotify account?" It's one of the reasons I still collect vinyls and books. Even if I don't really listen or read them from the physical format.
I’d like to think someone in future would read my kindle books and see the notes I’ve made on certain paragraphs.
That would be possible in a sane world, but in this world, we have DRM

Vinyl records are easily damaged.
A CD collection would be fine, and depending on the genre might be available fairly cheaply second hand, or could be recorded onto CD-R.

Yes, and that provides a valuable lesson to a child. Everything about vinyl is a lesson, from "how does this make sound" to "what are the pops and hiss" to scratching it and hearing the results. Digital media also has lessons, but my preference is to teach a child the basics before introducing them to the complexities of digital media.
Claim to have? That’s an oddly skeptical phrasing.
