I presume you mean that a direct USB connection to the camera doesn't   
allow one to pull pictures off of it.

Yes. That's actually the only way either myself of my wife get   
pictures off of our digital cameras, even if using Mac OS X, which   
does support our cameras. My general thinking is why waste battery   
getting pictures off when you don't need to, just pull the SD card and   
throw it in a reader.

Pretty much anything should work, outside of some funky Ricoh ones, as   
far as I recall. We've got SanDisk, Lexar and HP readers that all work   
just fine.
