What weight paper?

500 sheets of the usual grade of A4 paper is about 5cm high. That's 0.1mm per sheet.

0.1 mm * 365.2425 days * 4.56e9 years is ~1,665,000Km

Now my copy of the Lord of the Rings is on rice paper. 21mm for 1,200 pages. That makes each sheet 0.0175mm

0.0175 mm * 365.2425 days * 4.56e9 years is ~291,000Km
