Only if you care about high quality learning materials. Find me any set of online materials that is maybe 1/2 as good as SICP (not including the online edition of the book itself). I mean that seriously.
Of course most tech books now show about as much thought as a series of blog posts, but for quality in-depth learning materials we still aren't at a point where books have been surpassed. And when the day comes that they are, I suspect that the result will look a lot like books, just in the form of a webpage.
If you want to do more than troll the API docs, or read your 25th monad analogy tutorial you really can't beat a high quality book.

To the extent that's your standard, I'm not sure that that says anything about the quality of online vs. print materials. I mean, find any set of print materials that is 1/2 as good as SICP, not including the print version of SICP?
