If you have an audiobook on your computer, you can copy it onto a flash drive so you can listen to it on another computer, or so you can have a back-up copy in case the audiobook is accidentally deleted from your hard drive or the hard drive crashes. For example, you might be listening to an audiobook about business while you're at your job, and you want to resume listening to it that night on your home computer. You can easily download an audiobook to a flash drive.
