LibertyTextbooks is taking what it considers to be the best of the open-access textbooks, putting them on a CD, and giving the CD to university professors who might not have considered using OA textbooks. It's coordinating the project with the affordable textbook campaign.
PS: Good idea. This would be especially useful in developing countries where bandwidth is low and CD copies of OA content often work better than online copies.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
