Are chess books really any more thorough than what you can find online for learning?

I'm not >>19618129 , but I've found that it can be harder to study chess from PDFs and online sources, unless you have two monitors, because it's really tedious to have to switch between the PDF window and the chess board. The alternative is having half the monitor display the PDF and the other half the chess board, which is just too small in most cases
