6 signs that a flash card reader
can save you time and simplify your life:

1. You own more than one electronic device, and you use more than one type of flash card — Multiformat flash card readers make it easy to integrate all of these cards with your computer.
2. You work with large files — Card readers are designed with speed in mind, dramatically increasing the rate you can transfer those large files to your computer hard drive.
3. You transfer data often — If you sync up your handheld and your desktop every night, or if you take a lot of pictures, a card reader can save you considerable transfer time, not to mention batteries!
4. You're tired of buying batteries by the truckload — Most card readers run off the computer's power supply-not batteries.
5. That mess of wires behind your computer is, well, frightening — A card reader sits on top of your desk so that you don't have the aggravation of untangling wires and trying to figure out what is plugged into each port.
6. You transfer data to a notebook — Portable card readers plug directly into your notebook's USB port, eliminating the need to carry and untangle cords.
