West should move to a CD/DVD system for its hard copies

Regional reporters sure take up a lot of space, don't they? And in today's cost and affordable prices for both online research services, it seems odd that the regional reporters continue to pump out book after book, practically on a biweekly basis. Here's a thought? Why not put the all the regional reporters on a 1 or 2 DVD set, containing folders of the PDFs? And since most people print from the online systems anyway, you'd probably have as many people copy the DVDs as you would those who copy the books in lieu of printing from online.

I haven't personally priced out a set of say, P, P.2d and whatever they are up to in P.3d, but I'm sure it will take up more room than a 2, 3, or even 4 disc DVD set. Further updates could be shipped as CDs. There's always a concern for shelf life of a DVD/CD compared to a book, but given the amount of dust that has built up on dozens of books that I know have not been opened in more than half a century, I'm sure that's a problem that can be addressed on an as-needed basis.
