*sigh* You simply do not live my life. Smart phones + cloud storage + constant connectivity provide a privacy and immediacy for reading that wasn't there before. You can't load a CD onto a phone, so a CD full of books != useful. You can't load a CD onto a company computer without the contents being scanned, so a CD full of books is STILL not useful.
Most places still allow internet usage, however, and leaving open a browser with a book to glance at during breaks is VERY useful.
But, meh, you know best.
