I was just wondering what cheap memory card readers cost these days, looking for one with a USB cable, some of the more integrated direct plug in ones are a bit wide and can block other ports. So I checked Fry's and took a quick look at this one.

Seemed reasonable for $9. Supported a few card types as expected, I really only need SD.
But then I got to the detailed description
Not bad at all for $9, but a bit of overkill for my needs.
