Okay , I totally respect the Encyclopaedia Britannica , what they ’ve done and what they represent but are they even relevant any longer ? Is n’t it only stuffy , old people who spend the yard on their book ? Wikipedia , undependable that it may be , is a great starting degree for the 3.7 million ( and always spring up ) detail in their database . Comparatively , Britannica has 140,000 articles .
The app is n’t out yet butAll Things D got a preview of itand said that it ’s a lot good than the web version of the Britannica . There ’s a neat sounding ‘ link map ’ that shows relationship between topics and a daily photos sport to learn new things . What the WSJ feel disappointing though , was that there were n’t any videos or outbound nexus . I wo n’t shoot down you for spend $ 2 a calendar month , $ 60 a year for access to the Britannica iPad app ( it might be good for scholarly person rushing on a last minute of arc book report or something ! ) but I know I wo n’t be .
