How about using pdf format?  You can also make the photos so they can not
be copied.  As is they can be copied and downloaded onto the pc.   The
resolution of 480 X 441 seemed a bit small, but downloads fast.  The
smaller species would need to be more like 600 X I would think.  ????
Reading stuff off a CD you don't have to worry about speed like over the
internet.  This depends on one's video card RAM etc.
