    i am talking about this and this. are these two exactly replacing each other usage? i mean, if “book” post format will do the same as “book” page template?

  • A page template is a file of PHP.
    A post format is an internal WP taxonomy.

    is the output different?

    That question doesn’t make sense.
    There is no “book” post format in the internal taxonomy.
    You could write a page template called “book”, and the user can assign it to a page.

    Typically, a “book” would be a custom post type, which you define in a plugin. How it is rendered depends on whether your plugin adds a filter for 'template_include' to use its own template, or if you put a template named for the post type in your child theme. See the Template Hierarchy for details.
