We pretty much have all knowledge now at our fingertips without ever leaving home.
While we may not have ALL books available, I would almost bet money that one could find information on any topic that pops in their head. Oh and usually on the road too if one has a smart phone.
It is called the internet without which we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
