I'll offer a weird but (I hope) valid alternative to the other great suggestions here:

print the code of the static webpage on a piece of paper. Even better, archival paper [0], so it will really last a long time.

In the future, anyone would be able to point a... smartphone, or a camera, to the paper, and instantly retrieve the webpage. An AI will ask them if they want to render the page using one of these very, very old things called browsers.

How are you going to put the update/text change into the printed book? I think the point was tobe able to change the info when the books are already distributed.

I think OP said he wants it on the Internet.
