And if googling went away I’d just go back to those giant books with the animals on them.

    Has anyone ever opened one of those books? For all we know, they could just be a bunch of blank pages on the inside

    I've opened some. It's genius, it's like a giant webpage with lots of information, but without all the ads, cookie banners, etc. Unfortunately the ones I have don't seem to support any way to quickly search in the text. Though they've also thought about that, rather than implementing search these books tend to have a big overview at the start with all the separate chapters and sometimes a search index of commonly searched words at the end. Quite genius for what's effectively just a neat monitor stand
