I find that articles and blogs are good for questions, books are good for answers - or at least an attempt at that answer.

Sometimes you'll find an article that is as good as a book but other times I read a book proceeding an article and then wish the author would have started by reading some books themselves.

I find other long form content like podcasts or filmed presentations can sometimes hit that quality mark of books too.

Articles / tweets are good for learning the name of a concept I've never heard of.

Books / podcasts / YouTube are a good way to deep dive on the actual concept itself.
