    How come you want USB adapters in every room?

    Agreed, I can see little point in this.

    Can't you locate the devices in one room then access them via the network?

    there isn't the space. The pcs are laptops, the modem is in a different room, the printer in another, Camera and Kindle in yet another, and storage in hidden in another.
    as there no desk/office its easer to use network nodes spread around the house.

    For storage you would be better off getting a device that is specifically intended for it, same with the printer (would be surprised if you couldn't get a box that would do both). Though you will need to check compatibility with the printer.

    Plug the kindle in to the laptop, same for the camera if it's a digital still camera.

    USB over network is quite expensive

    your looking £200-300 for hubs

    USB1.1 is very cheap though can get adapters for £15
