People keep spewing this bullshit. Are people not aware you can look stuff up?? Come on man, just look this stuff up before you say it.
Do a quick google search. Find a media duplication company that does both:
duplication.ca: CDs $970 for 1000, $1890 for the equivalent in cassettes. Tapes are double the price.
Feel free to search all you want, every company is going to be roughly the same.
But lets say those people want a DIY approach.... CDs are less than 1/4 the cost of tapes:
100 blank tapes ($79) + 100 tape cases ($96) puts tapes at $1.75 each to produce.
100 ink jet printable CDs ($19) 100 pack of CD jewel cases ($19) puts CDs at $.38 each to produce.
I actually found a 50 pack of this same cd !

Please report this as a listing violation on eBay
For the print I just downloaded an a4 photo of x and cut it out and the CD was an old one I don't want anymore. I searched for some on amazon tho vro

I've been using Philips branded ones and never yet had a problem:

This wasn't intentional, they just happened to be the brand I had in when I got my CD-i, it might just be coincidence that I've not had a coaster with them yet but I'm happy with them either way and you can get a spindle of a hundred pretty cheaply.
It can be very tricky to get PS1’s to recognize and boot burned discs. After a lot of trial and error, I found that getting Verbatim discs like this were working best for me:
Verbatim CDRs
I tried a few other brands with mixed success. Also the burn speed matters, the slower you can record the disc is better. I found an old CD burner on eBay and now can burn at 1x speed over USB.
So I had to invest a little bit into this combination but it’s working for me now.
You could also try slight adjusting the potentiometer on the laser to get burned CDs to read better on your PS1. Make sure to only adjust it in very small increments so that you don’t mess it up. There are some YouTube tutorials that could help.
You can grab them over at Amazon. In before, nice one Verbatim employee.
Why not just use an 800MB CDR?

Oh, hot damn, that's a lot of books. I'll keep looking. I teach middle school (12/14) and a lot of those kids still Trick-or-treat. I'll report back in a bit with more for that age range.
Also, I know OTTOMH that they have all the Tarzan Novels. We could a solid set on one disc for adventure lovers.

Edit/Addition
.
I've found some good ones and one that almost made me weep with joy.
Around the World in 80 days A classic, and this is even the deluxe junior edition.
Aesop's Fables I was read these in 1st grade and loved it.
The Fairy Books A set of books containing 420 of the best stories from all over the world.
Tarzan Like I said, a good portion of his Tarzan work is represented here.
A princess of Mars They have the set, but this is just the first one. This is the original scifi that set the stage for everything else.
The Jungle books 1 2 A little Kipling never hurts.
The Junior Classics Library This was like a classic stories encyclopedia. We had it when I was but a lad. I used to look at the old pictures in these before I could actually read and read them once I could. It's great to see them digital.
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow It's Halloween. To leave this out would be a crime!

Second Edit/Addition
.
I looked into it and I found a set of 100 700mb Sony writable disks for 17 bucks and 100 paper CD cases are only 4 bucks. So 100 disks for 20 bucks isn't terrible.
Mine seems to have no problem reading these 10 packs with paper sleeves. I haven't used Memorex bulk stacks for some time. These individually packaged ones are the only kind I have been using over the last few years to burn dcres/atreyu187 repack CDI's burned at the slowest speed supported by my drive.
That said, I believe media and burner quality does come in to play on my modded Gamecube so I always use Verbatim media and a Pioneer burner. The precision on those is exceptional, and Gamecubes are picky.
The real hard part is finding one without writing. verbatim blank cd gold grade. Okay so this is new for me after working in It and with computers since I was a child I have never run into searching for archival CD-R's but it seems like that is exactly what that Half-Life disc is written on. They are expensive. Here are done with no writing but I can't find just one.
Edit2: it seems like the cheap ones have logos printed on them. If you don't mind it not being functional you could print on the read side and frame it face side to the wall. It would look right but not function.
So do you recommend 1x/2x/4x?
As for CD-Rs, I've heard good things about verbatim datalifeplus made at Mitsubishi Chemical factory. More affordable than TY and every review on amazon says they're quality.

These Verbatim ones. I've heard some people say bad things about Verbatim CD-Rs, so maybe they have other, lower-quality discs out there. But I can vouch for these ones. Never have any problems.
