I second Biggie. But still, I think Internet is the best way to learn something.For example, assume that you don't understand a particular topic while reading a book. You need to refer some other book for a detailed and clear explanation. What if you don't have that book with you? You search the topic in internet. Just by few clicks, you get the answer in internet. You've lot of resources in internet which explain you the concept clearly and lucidly.The_Big_KBooks and Internet are just the mediums. The best learning comes when there's a burning desire to learn something and willingness to go that extra mile to gain knowledge.

Me too on first look at the heading thought that it is referring to "whether reading through book is good or ebook is good".Anyways coming to the point i am totally in support of your answer that reading through book is much better than goggling in internet. Reading through books is the age long practice. Internet has been available to common people just few years back. Internet is indeed a very useful tool as we get lot of information in one click, but the information here are scattered between lot of unwanted texts which we do not require.We then have to extract the useful information through it, which is a time consuming process. Not only it is time consuming but also mind distracting. Instead of learning what we intended our attention gets shifted to useless things.Moreover spending much time in front of computer is not good for eyes.So i strongly support 'book' as the best source of gaining knowledge..AbraKaDabraWhen you wrote 'books vs internet', the first thing that struck my mind was books vs ebooks. So, changed the title.
I think internet is a good medium because of the limitless possibilities in which we can explore it to learn something, but at the same time since it is a 'world-wide-web' it is easy to get lost and distracted when a person is online. we start hopping from one site to another, thinking that we are browsing and later realize that we wasted 2-3 hours for something that could be learnt in a few minutes by flipping a few pages of the book.
Mr. Einstein learnt a lot just by thinking. He used only a pen and paper on his desk to scribble his thoughts.
So, yes like Biggie says, when there's a burning desire, any medium is fine.
