Hi Kristen, Long time no see... FAT is not a file format. It is a type of a file system that is popular with storage devices. A file system is a way of organizing files and folders. As for USB devices in general, you can get them from anywhere - Bestbuy, Staples, Radio Shack, etc. These days, USB hubs are cheap - one can even buy a seven port hub for around $40 (I guess). As for USB storage, it is unlimited in terms of capacity. One can now get a 2 TB (Terabyte, or 2000 GB/Gigabyte) external USB hard drive for around $150. As for thumb drives, the maximum right now is 32 GB, but it could go as high as several terabytes. Mainly, KeySoft 7.5.31 addresses Bookshare compatibility with new compression format support, as well as IEEE 802.11G WiFi standard (thanks to a CF WiFi card driver included with build 29). Cheers, Joseph
