The smallest USB stick you can get nowadays is 2GB, and that's a special 
cheap giveaway pack.  Usually, it's 16GB upwards, sometimes, you find cheap 
8GB sticks.  That compares quite favorable to a CD or DVD.

I've booted&installed Linux from SD cards for years now; I prefer SD cards 
over plain USB sticks, since you can use them both in a computer and in a 
camera (maybe you need a SD card reader stick), and of course, they are more 
compact.  Burn a DVD?  I have computers with no DVD drive at all.  And I 
don't even miss it.  Backups go to a terabyte USB drive.
