You can't Ctrl-F paper books, but they survived computers and the internet, because sometimes, it's nice to discover a new subject by reading sequentially over chapters carefully wrote by someone who knows what they're doing. Sure CGPT can generate a table of contents if you want to learn a programming language for instance, tell you what to do first, what to try, delve deep in concepts, etc., but I think it's still hit or miss, as opposed to great tech authors and great publishers, where you can be sure you're getting your money's worth. Also, IMO people tend to have a bias to go slower with paper material, because they committed to reading a book, they are less likely to skip sections, which means the end result is that you get more out of a book than the Html/pdf same content, might be different if you need to try things out on a computer while reading though.
