Never heard them called Thumb drives Ive heard them called memory sticks. Sams Club also sells them in a package of about five or six. Cant remember the price.
I down load the book from the website onto my computer, then down load that to the memory stick in my USB port, then unplug the memory stick from the computer and plug it into the digital players USB port, on the right side of the player. I never use the cartridge that can be mailed to you, since the books can be downloaded. Those cartridges are for those without a computer. Theyre mailed out just like the cassette tapes were mailed. Then, you have to mailed them back when you are finished with them. You cant use them to re cord anything.

Staples is where I bought mine, so I know they have them.
