I am not sure how to tell about your authorization, but I know about 
your third question. I use a thumbdrive to download books from bard all 
the time, when my cartrige is not with me or I can't find my cord. I 
don't see why there should be a limit on size, but one warning about 
thumb drive. Unlike the cartrige, the player likes to mess up sometimes 
especially if you move it around. It says cartrige error, or for some 
reason sets you back a few chapters, or just reads how many books and 
the battery again. If you keep it still though, it's usually fine. It's 
just picky.
