    Yeh I would be interested if a good priced 1GB memory stick hmm. I know what you mean about books too, I have already had to fork out £120+ on books alone....
  • whats size usb memory stick are you thinking of?
  • https://www.ebuyer.co.uk normally have the best priced ones and the majority should come with free postage so check there

    also https://www.aria.co.uk have some good deals from time to time

  • I was going to say the £19.99 collect in store 512mb one from PcWorld which was £59.99 normally but it must have been a misprice cause it's now £31.99 to collect instore a week on!!! But they might still be worth a look not sure if you couldn't beat them elsewhere though. I haven't had to get any books yet!

    i'm not sure what i would need but i thought that a 256mb should cover it, not keen on trying ebuyer as their reviews tend to fluctuate. Aria looks ok, so i shall try them over the next couple of weeks, unless i get any more suggestions

    https://www.ebuyer.com or https://www.dabs.com or even https://www.amazon.co.uk are your best bets. Check with shopbots as well, https://www.kelko.co.uk and https://www.dealtime.co.uk to make sure youare getting the best prices.

    think carefully about the size you need as well. 256mb is a LOT for word files. 128mb or even 64mb is a much better and cheaper size to go for if you are only doing word documents/spreadsheets. If you are using graphics files (JPEG's etc) then a bigger usb key is needed; 512mb or 1gb.

  • Try this from Amazon:

    £19.99 for a 512MB USB
    There are also other sizes to choose from as well
