Makes perfect sense to me. I used to have a lot of computer books on my shelves. They're all gone. Internet access is just a given these days, so there's very little reason to have reference documentation in print.
And for more complex matters, a good youtube video is superior. Modern software can have extremely complex interfaces. It's much easier to follow along with a Blender video than to gain the same knowledge from a book.

- b3lm0nt 3y agoAgree —- as someone who previously only owned software books for coursework in the early ‘10s, I’ve built up a growing collection over the past 3 years. The quality of book content is generally much higher than blog posts and SO answers, and I’ve never been one for eBooks / PDFs. Plus, it makes my home office feel more in tune with my profession. I like to see the books on the shelf and leaf through them while waiting for my CI to build.
