IMO the CF cards are the way to go and we are darned lucky to have those... 
I highly doubt that the demand will ever warrant providing a usb reader with 
the appropriate hardware and firmware or drivers unless some brilliant EE 
decides to do us a favour for the hellery of it...

Have you tried the Microdrive? Mine works excellently. Or are you just 
interested in something that hasn't been done? If that's the case and you 
decide to do it I am sure many of us would like one.

My C64 has a FAT MMC cartridge but no USB stick either... but I am darned 
lucky to have what I have because both these computers can take disk images 
directly from the Internet using my Windows machine as a host and it is 
loads of fun.

I can't imagine how a USB stick would improve on any of this except to be 
doing what I am currently doing in a different way.
