Question:

what are usb memory card readers?

are the same as what i call usb that u plug into a computer and can store/transfer files in and come in different storage capacity? thanks!

Answer:

A card reader is a device that you can plug memory cards into. Let's say you had a Compact Flash memory card. Your computer did not have a Compact Flash card slot. How do you get the pictures off? You use a multi card reader. Typically, to be compatible with as many computers as possible, multi-card readers come with a USB connection. So, a USB memory card reader is a device that lets you get the information off your memory cards, and it connects to your computer by a USB port. end of line
