Tiny Reader...Vast Capability

Advantages: Takes 18 different cards
Disadvantages: Possible problem recognising reader when online

...Delkin eFilm External card reader When my old card reader died on me, I rushed straight out to find a new card reader as I had about 200 plus photos waiting to be uploaded and printed and all on my camera card. To be honest, I wasn?t looking at high spec or anything else the reader had to offer ? all I wanted was an external reader to enable me to upload photo images and so I went for one of the cheapest in the local computer shop (which is actually a privately owned one and so is more expensive but being a wimp I didn?t want to drive far in the storm!). This particular card cost me about £10 though after searching online it can now be picked up for as little as £7 which ok, isn?t a huge saving but these days every little helps. It also seems that a lot of sites which have this card reader are American sites (all in dollars) such as...

Trust my Card Reader

Advantages: reliable, USB2, vista compat, 42 different formats, lively lighty up bits
Disadvantages: bit boring to look at

...I bought this card reader at that famous hit-tech computer store ;) Tesco. So I didn't expect that much especially at the price but it was going to be better than my ultra cheap no name card reader it replaced. I've been using this card reader now for about 9 months. It cost £9.00 when I bought it so I didn't expect too much. But it surpassed my expectations and has beaten off my attempts to replace it with newer more modern units (usually ones advertising it will read 99 different card types and ones which are much much prettier). The Trust EasyConnect Card Reader is a USB 2 device which does its job without fuss or fault. It accepts cards via the front panel or the back panel and handles (amongst othersCompact Flash, Mini Drive, SMC, XD (for Fuji and Olympus), MS, MMC, and SD cards. Basically, if you have a memory card for your...

Review of Kingston MobileLite 9-in-1 Reader

Read my memory

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: None so far

...I bought my Lexar Media multicard reader over a year ago and it has done me sterling service. Mine cost me £27.99 when I bought it but I see that ebuyer are selling it for just over £22.00 including P & P. Quick update - I see MyMemory.com are doing it for £17.99 Buy it. I had been tired of fiddling around connecting my Fuji digital camera to a lead from the back of my PC so I bit the bullet and bought the Lexar reader. Windows XP does not require the CD that comes with the unit (though all other Windows OS do). It was plug and play as the "Removable Disc" icon came up straight away when I plugged the reader via the cable supplied into my PC. I inserted the SmartMedia card from my Fuji camera into the reader and hey presto, the images were transfered at a remarkable 450 Mbps (Megabits per second) via the ultra fast...

Review of Lexar Multi-Card Reader Card reader

Jessops USB Smartmedia Card reader - Serial Killer

Advantages: Upload Speed, Increased Battery Life
Disadvantages: None

...I've been putting up with slow upload on my Olympus C2020Z digital camera for over a year, but when I got a 32Mb card it was painfully slow - like watching paint dry. So I finally bought a Jessops USB Smartmedia Card Reader and it's great. The installation on a Windows 98 PC is simple, the card comes with a CD with the appropriate drivers, and has bundled Piccolo thumbnail software for viewing and sending files to Jessops over the internet for printing, though I've not tried that service yet. The USB Card reader is powered via the USB port, and comes with an extension cable which makes it easy to connect to a desktop PC. Once installed and with a Smartmedia card inserted, it appears as a new removable drive. Piccolo will automatically catalogue all your pictures on your PC, and a thumbnail viewer will launch. I close them down...

Review of Memory Card Readers

Jenoptik Smart Card Reader very good

Advantages: Fast, effecient and easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...Having owned a digital camera for 6 months I got heartily sick and tired of waiting for images to download through the serial port of my computer. I therefore decided to invest in a smart card reader from Jenoptik. I bought one direct from the web and paid £27 for a USB reader. It was one of the best investments I have made. Being USB it requires no power source and sits nicely on top of my monitor. The downloads speeds are almost instantaneous and the management of the card is as simple as a floppy. I highly recommend you purchase one if you intend to take digital photography even a little bit seriously....

Review of Memory Card Readers

Marymoose reads "The Reader"

Advantages: A different take on the Holocaust, thoroughly thought-provoking!
Disadvantages: Could have been longer...

............................................................................................................... Intro Whilst perusing the charity book list at work (books for 25p) I came across ?The Reader?, and being vaguely aware that it had recently been made into a film and that it had issues surrounding the Holocaust in it I was quick to part with my 25p before someone else got it! I haven?t been reading much this year, choosing instead to stare out of the train window at sheep. However, from the moment I picked up this book I was hooked and it was over before I knew it (well, a day and a bit later technically). This is a difficult book to review since I don?t want to give away too much of the plot, I have read reviews which give away something quite major which we don?t find out until well into the story (although I...

Review of The Reader - Bernhard Schlink

Sony e reader

Advantages: lightweight
Disadvantages: not cheap

...**** Sony E Reader **** I really enjoy reading but somehow my suitcase always ends up really heavy so when i saw that my local Waterstones had some in stock i decided to purchase one.At 199 quid its not cheap but i felt i could easily spend that on buying the books alone. **What is it?** Basically it is an electronic device that you can store books on.The memory size you get with it holds up to 160 books but there is also slots for you to add extra memory if needed,not that you would need it. **Pros** One of the best things about this is that you do not have to carry loads of books around with you. Books are cheaper on the ereader than they are to buy normally and when you buy the ereader from Waterstones it comes with 100 classic books so if you are like me and would read these anyway the ereader pays for itself. It can...

Review of Sony Portable Reader PRS-505

The Reader - Evil Intent Uncertain

Advantages: Fascinating story that unfolds slowly, like snapshots in a photo album.
Disadvantages: A bit long at times.

...of pride. Battling his feelings, Michael must decide whether or not he will help her... 'The Reader' is, without a doubt, one of the most thought-provoking and disturbing movies I have seen since 'Atonement'. If I bring up 'Atonement', it is simply because the two movies have much in common--summer love, innocence, passion, and deceit. I can now fully understand why Kate Winslet won an Oscar for her performance in this movie... she was absolutely brilliant. Hannah Schmitz is a complex character, one that even now I am uncertain I fully understand. There is something missing in Hannah, something that was broken early on in her life and never fixed--something that is hard to define, a piece of her soul perhaps, an emotion, the inability to recognise right from wrong, or to even understand the differences between the two. In others this...

Review of The Reader (DVD)

  The only joker near this card reader is me.

Advantages: No more messing with cables!
Disadvantages: Could be tricky to set up initially.

...mainly use it for SmartMedia (SM) cards (these are the memory cards typically used in digital cameras), but there is also support for Compact Flash (CF), IBM Microdrive, Sony Memory Stick, MultiMedia Card (MMC) and Secure Digital (SD). These are all accessed via the four labelled slots in the front of the unit which is the same size as a floppy disk drive and ensures you won't know what to insert where. When you first take the card reader out of the box, you'll instantly notice two things. The first is that, despite being marketed as an "internal" reader, it's only a beige box with a few screw holes in it so if you wanted to use it as an external reader, then you can. In fact, for the first four weeks I had mine, it was used externally, and stuck to the top of my PC with some Blu-Tack. The second thing is that there are two different types...
