We're delivering CHM now and migrating to shipping folders with plain-old-HTML. Customers get the same content locally when they press F1 as they would if they found the documentation online.
Note that if you ship HTML files onto the user's hard drive you may have to implement Marks of the Web on each page so the page is rendered as part of the "internet zone". If you don't, certain javascript features (namely AJAX requests) are disabled as they could be a security risk. Alternatively, ship a small webserver to handle the AJAX requests.
