The difference is that the M-W website doesn't give you definitions for all words, something I find particularly annoying. I've searched a couple of terms before which it wouldn't show me saying that the definition is only available through "Merriam-Webster Unabridged", a resource which you have to pay to access. With the book, although most dictionaries don't have all the words of the English language, you're more likely to find the one you need. More technical terms will require specialized dictionaries. I prefer Oxford dictionaries, but as a native English speaker, it really doesn't matter to me which one I use as long as I find what I'm looking for.
