A cd you can put into any computer with windows as well.  I can click on 
individual chapters; I graduated in 2009 and that is how it was done; I 
don't know if publishers are changing it now, to tell students to download 
books, or what.  I don't know if it’s the college I go to or what it is.

Ashley and all,
  Personally I like downloading my books better than cds.  Mostly
that's cause I'm unorganized and proan to lose things...so electronic
copies are usually better for me.  But that's all personal preference
and I guess I can see where a CD could come in handy.
