A good choice in most cases.

That's very expected.

What kinds of cards can you use in that reader and what kind of cards
did you try?
On the machine I use right now I have a card reader for some different
kinds of cards and I thought for a long time that it just didn't work
with Linux since nothing happened when I inserted a Memory Stick card
in it, but one day, I don't know why, I inserted an SD card and it
worked perfectly.

So it seems like some card readers are only partially supported.
