It's just a different media better suited for some info needs and less suited for certain other info needs. A blog for example may be more up-to-date and dynamic to feedback, whereas a book may be more long-term oriented and coherent. A book, as of today, also comes at a price; even when Google Book search is able to scan a modern book, it may not display it in its entirety to users (unless it passed to the public domain, or copyright laws change dramatically).Philipp Lenssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09340991515644165702noreply@blogger.com
