I'm wondering what is the actual size of this reader, is it smaller than the size of your hand?

The code ending in '5D5' in the Fat Wallet thread didn't work for me. Anyone else have a 15% code that will work with this deal???

I tried using my Acomdata tonight and I was not pleased. Hopefully I'll be able to return it to CompUSA, doubtful but I'll try.

I read a positive review of the Dazzle in a recent issue of PC World mag, for $18 after rebate with free shipping you can't beat that excellent deal.

That's true RossMAN. I have a Sony Digicam which obviously uses MS format. The Sony reader reads only MS, and it cost more than double the price of the Dazzle at some places. This is definitely a great deal. Btw, what weren't you pleased about the Acommodata?

The design isn't that great when inserting a CF card, it's hard to describe. Haven't tried any other media in it yet but it's just a "hunch" plus I like the simpler/smaller design of the Dazzle.

watch out for Acommodata devices, they are mostly not XP supported. I bought a MS reader for my Sony DSC S85, it works fine in Win98, but totally trash in WINXP

Wish I had known that before buying my Acomdata 6-in-1 reader!

polotek147, how did you get $36 shipped?
Mine was like 40-4(10% off)+5.5(S/h)=41.5
Of course another 20 MIR.

samgoody - I used a 15% off coupon to knock off $5.99, then Free Shipping, + Tax for NJ = $36 - 20MIR = $16AR+AC.

Well I don't need one now, but it's such a good deal I had to get one. Neither of the coupons worked for me. And they charged me tax?????? I live in Florida. Hmmm. What's that all about?

I ordered from Dell, but they're not shipping until March 4. I'll still be ok w/the coupon, which requires purchase by 2/28, won't I?

What's the deal with the free shipping? I can't get the 15% code to work either but the 10% code works. But I get charged for $5.50 shipping at small business and home. Did I miss the boat?

I just ordered the Sandisk 64 MB CF card + USB CF reader from Staples for $45, but I just noticed this deal. Would I be better off cancelling the staples deal and buying this? Presently, I only have the need for CF, but the headroom of the Dazzle is nice.

Just got mine a week ago and I must say this is one sweet reader. I discoverd that it seems to run a lot faster on my USB 2.0 card then the standard USB 1.1 port on my wifes PC. It doesn't mention if it is USB 2.0, just USB 1.1. Also it shows up automatically in XP as 2 Removeable Storage Devices (one for the SM, MM, SD, and Memory Stick, and another for the CF and IBM Micro Drive). Really speedy reader, I am rather happy with it.

What needs to be clarify is where are the order being placed? Home or Small Business.

It seems both are offering free shipping? But Small Business charge tax and home doesn't. But does the coupon work in both or just one.

Also don't forget ebates for that %2.
