5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the NetBook Traveler/Photographer, February 13, 2010

Very compact functional way to download travel pictures into a compact NetBook computer which ordinarily doesn't come with too many frills other than a couple of USB ports and perhaps a SD port.

Item is not fancy, but readily accepts CF card which (in my experience)can at times be a little tricky to line up and load into some CF readers.

This is a handy little reader that I will be sure to tuck into my bare-bones travel kit.

I love the small size of this CF card reader. I needed something portable, and didn't want to spend $25+ on a giant plastic box that could read cards I don't own with a 20 foot USB cord to connect it to a computer. The shipping was quick, my Mac mounts the CF card as a drive exactly how I expected, it fits on a biner clip on my backpack, and I couldn't be more pleased!

I regularly rely on this little silver USB-drive-sized CF reader. I've used it frequently for the half year I've had it as my laptop has only an SD card slot. The only issue I've had is that the reader's card slot is shallow and uncovered. That leaves the pins vulnerable to being bent either during sloppy insertion of a CF card or by coming in contact with another object (such as a coin or key if you occasionally keep it in your pocket, as I do). So I have had to bend the pins back a couple of times. Still works well though, and handles today's higher speed and capacity CF cards, unlike the old CF readers I have gathering dust. Those were both far bulkier and more expensive.

I think that those customers who received a purple reader (as pictured in one customer's image) were victimized by a bait and switch scheme and should take this up with the vendor (and Amazon) rather than taking it out on the product. I got mine from New Harbor - unfortunately they don't seem to be among the current vendors of this item.
