1. A method of protecting digital content at a kiosk, the method comprising: providing a plurality of memory devices, the plurality of memory devices having pre-loaded content thereon;receiving a selection from a user;selecting a memory device from the plurality of pre-loaded memory devices that matches the selection from the user;determining a dock to which the memory device is to be coupled, wherein the dock is an electronic device that is distinct from the kiosk and is configured to access content on one or more of the memory devices; andprotecting the memory device with a unique key corresponding to the dock. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein determining a dock includes receiving an indication of a dock to which the memory device is to be coupled from a user accessing the kiosk. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the selection from the user indicates the memory device that is to be coupled to the dock. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the selection from a user corresponds to content that matches content on the memory device. 5. The method of claim 1, comprising: using a fulfillment server to pre-load content onto the plurality of pre-loaded memory devices; anddelivering the plurality of pre-loaded memory device to a location nearby the kiosk. 6. The method of claim 1, comprising: loading additional content onto the memory device. 7. The method of claim 1, comprising: receiving a selection from the user indicating additional content to load onto the memory device, wherein loading additional content includes loading content corresponding to the selection from the user. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein loading additional content includes loading content selected by one of the kiosk or a fulfillment system. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of memory devices include memory devices with different pre-loaded content. 10. A method of protecting digital content at a kiosk, the method comprising: providing a plurality of memory devices, wherein at least a subset of the plurality of memory devices have pre-loaded content thereon;receiving a selection of content from a user;selecting one or more of the plurality of memory devices as a function of the selection of content from the user, wherein selecting includes if the selection of content from the user matches content on one of the at least a subset of memory devices, selecting the one of the at least a subset of memory devices having pre-loaded content thereon;if the selection of content from the user does not match content on one of the at least a subset of memory devices, selecting one of the plurality of memory devices and loading content corresponding to the selection on the one of the plurality of memory devices;receiving an indication of a dock to which the selected memory device is to be coupled, the indication received from a user accessing the kiosk, wherein the dock is an electronic device that is distinct from the kiosk and is configured to access content on one or more of the memory devices; andprotecting the selected memory device with a unique key corresponding to the dock. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the plurality of memory devices include memory devices with different pre-loaded content. 12. A kiosk comprising: a plurality of memory devices, the plurality of memory devices having pre-loaded content thereon;at least one processing device;a memory coupled to the at least one processing device, wherein the memory includes instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: receive a selection from a user;select a memory device from a plurality of pre-loaded memory devices that matches the selection from the user;determine a dock to which the memory device is to be coupled, wherein the dock is an electronic device that is distinct from the kiosk and is configured to access content on one or more of the memory devices for consumption thereof, wherein the dock is associated with a particular user account and includes a unique key for accessing content on the one or more memory devices; andprotect the memory device with a unique key corresponding to the dock. 13. The kiosk of claim 12, wherein the selection from the user indicates the memory device that is to be coupled to the dock. 14. The kiosk of claim 12, wherein the selection from a user corresponds to content that matches content on the memory device. 15. The kiosk of claim 12, wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to: load additional content onto the memory device based on the dock and corresponding user to which the memory device is to be coupled. 16. The kiosk of claim 12, wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to: receive a selection from the user indicating additional content to load onto the memory device, wherein loading additional content includes loading content corresponding to the selection from the user. 17. The kiosk of claim 12, wherein the at least a subset of memory devices include memory devices with different pre-loaded content. 18. The kiosk of claim 12, wherein determine a dock includes receive an indication of a dock to which the memory device is to be coupled from a user accessing the kiosk. 19. The kiosk of claim 12, wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to: download product selection information from a memory device being returned from a user, the product selection information corresponding to a product to be purchased by a user that was selected while the memory device was coupled to a dock; andsend the product selection information over the internet to an appropriate entity for purchase of the product by the user. 20. The kiosk of claim 19, wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to: update a product catalog stored on the memory device.
