Encyclopedia Britannica App should be on allWindows 8,Windows 10devicesSome might wonder: why the heck do I need theEncyclopedia BritannicaappforWindows 8,Windows 10when I haveWikipediaat my disposal? In times when for many,Googleequals the information search, it would seem that there isn’t room for other options. But I can assure you that even ifGoogleis the absolute king when it comes to information finding, others still have kept their niche. I have recently bought the physical books from the Encyclopedia Britannica and I am quite pleased with it.

We’ve reviewedother educationalappshere, onWindows Report, and one of them has beenKhan Academy for Windows 10, Windows 8. But here are some other related articles you might be interested in:

Encyclopedia Britannica (the free edition, that is) is a mix of Wikipedia and tradition in providing knowledge, just like we’ve mentioned in the title. So, let’s see what interesting and appealing we can find inside theapplication.

Encyclopedia Britannica for Windows 10, Windows 8

If you’ve opened up at least oneEncyclopedia Britannica bookin your life, then you know that the information found inside is organized in alphabetical order, just like inside a dictionary. Naturally, that has been kept and we can find it in theWindows 10,Windows 8andWindows 8RTapplicationthat we’re reviewing. The information that you’ll find inside theapplicationis basically the same, like you find one the official website, onwww.britannica.com

The sad part, of course, for those that can’t afford it, is the price that you’ll have to pay in order to get the full version. But the good part is that you’ll pay only$14.99 for an annual subscription. Comparing to the same amount of information in the “print version”, it’s actually pretty cheap, but then again, you’ll have to pay that amount every year. You should perceive Encyclopedia Britannica as a more “exclusive”Google.

So, in order to get thefull functionalityfrom Encyclopedia Britannica, you’ll have to pay that annual subscription. If you’re a student, pupil or just a hungry person for knowledge, then it will perform awesome for you. While you have opened an article, you can do the following while you’re on it:

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
