 SanDisk Ultra II Plus USB - SD Card  about $25

it pulls double duty as a normal-looking SD card, but flip it over, pop
off the cover, and it slips into any USB port just like that.

Haven't tried it but it would keep you from carrying an usb reader along
should you not get the on-board reader working and not want to use
camera battery life.
