Yes, of course. On the one hand, switching between game and web-browser is not convenient and have a lot of time sometimes. On the other hand, game Encyclopedia have only static data with links. You cannot enter 'Fire' and it cannot find Fire Essences and all, what you need for do it. But it is not so bad. You can follow links for alchemy->FE, but you cannot follow links for find, where is grown flowers, crystals, metals and other. Local user guide with query abilities can help you to make a lot of things. Basic advantage - it's momental reaction for your query. For example, I have USB 3G-modem, and want to know, where grown tiger lilly. I start el-wiki, go to plants, tiger lilly, nearest location for me, and go to harv them. For Internet guide I need 3-5 mins for this simple operations. It's not convenient :-(
But I will buy a laptop (notebook) 17" for playing EL on my comp and search on EL web services with notebook. But I think, that the local guide is very useful thing. By the way, I can execute #know command and copy text from game and paste to guide and it can remember books, which I read. If I will know, what books I need to reed for a book - It can count some books which I have read and exclude them. If you don't understand me - please ask again about some details.
