I am a staircase, covered in paint.
Each step taken gives knowledge, new and quaint.
I used to be more of a ramp type shape,
But progress was slow, like rewinding a tape.
My new inside is famously difficult to place,
At least if you look only at my face.
I contain the world and all of its gain,
And delineate most of its struggle and pain.
Something I can understand, being myself bound.
So, stranger, who am I? Can my name be found?
Be observant, omniscient, keen,
And I will show what has already been seen.
The final answer should include some explanation for each part of the riddle. Thanks!

You are a
book
I am a staircase, covered in paint.
Books look like staircases when they’re opened to near the middle, and they’re “painted” with ink and pictures.
Each step taken gives knowledge, new and quaint.
Books can provide knowledge on a wide range of topics.
I used to be more of a ramp type shape,
Not sure about this one yet... perhaps this refers to how a book looks when only the first few pages are flipped, which is more like an upward ramp than a staircase
But progress was slow, like rewinding a tape.
Reading a book requires time and effort because usually you’d have to read each page sequentially, jus like how you have to rewind a tape frame by frame.
My new inside is famously difficult to place,
At least if you look only at my face.
“Don’t judge a book by its cover!”
I contain the world and all of its gain,
And delineate most of its struggle and pain.
Books are a written record of humanity, both at its best and its not so best.
Something I can understand, being myself bound.
Most books are definitely bound at their spines.
So, stranger, who am I? Can my name be found?
Be observant, omniscient, keen,
Taking the first letters of the previous line gives BOOK.
And I will show what has already been seen.
Autobiographies, personal accounts, etc. show others what another person has seen/been through.
