I had a few readers like that in college, myself! <g> Seriously, I've got a Sandisk multiple-card reader that's been working fine for over a year, but I know what you mean...on my last job, I was given one that died about 60 days after it was taken out of the box. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Clark" <rclark0276@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, March 09, 2007 9:43 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: Flash card readers True that multi card readers are more flexible. But its hard to go thru the reviews on various brands and find that they run about half and half. Half work and half dont work. There does not seem to be any readers that are very favorable. Many quit working early in their lives. LOL
