USB connectors have 5 basic versions:

USB A - this is what is on notebook computers

USB B - really big rectangular one, like on a printer cable

mini USB - on older electronic devices, such as PRS-500, PocketBook 360, and also on 3.5 inch external harddisks

Micro USB - modern phones and all recently manufactured e-ink readers

USB 3 cable, typically located on a modern USB3 external harddisks. It is basically two connectors next to each other, so you can (theoretically, at least) plug in micro USB cable and use the device with USB2 standard.

You left out USB C.
