Yes and no, IMO. There's a bunch of crap on the internet, too. And some of the old school recipes are difficult to find outside of a book you got from your mom.

And yeah, there's a shit ton of crap in books, too. But you generally can find authors you trust and stick with them.

And beside the point - sometimes I like to just sit down and thumb through a cookbook. Using a Kindle is an awful experience for many cookbooks.
