D&D 5.24 is fully compatible with 5.14. All you have to do is Xerox all your 5.14 stuff and file and organize it yourself. See? Totally compatible!
It's fully compatible.
D&D Beyond isn't.
* For certain select definitions of "compatible."
Regardless, I consider that a difference without distinction. DnDBeyond is owned by WotC and is arguably their main way of delivering D&D content. They're one and the same from a product perspective.
I don't doubt there will be some issues with the roll out, but knowing the new goal I will roll with any glitches that may arise! Thanks wizbro for listening, I am back to being a happy customer!
They're doing a crash implementation supposedly shipping in a week. Even on a system better-designed than DDB, that's a recipe for bugs. Even if they had it mostly finished already, I'd expect both problems and missing their release date.

Books are their main way of delivering D&D. Without looking at any of their quarterly reports or press releases, I estimate it's the main way by at least an order of magnitude, more likely two.
Not the case anymore. Physical media requires resources to manufacture and distribute. Digital content only costs the initial money for development and a fairly small amount to maintain servers. They cut the manufacturing and distribution costs by going all digital, making it possible to keep almost the entire price of each digital product as profit. That is WotC's long-term goal.

The one they kept online well into 5e's lifespan, only shutting it down when Microsoft discontinued the tech it was built on?
