On the contrary, the USB card readers go through a lot of effort to

are buggy in some way. SD cards are defined to have 512 byte sectors, while
USB mass storage can theoretically have a different sector size. Of course
any other size than 512 bytes is likely to break some code, which you have
experienced.


Actually, I believe 2 GB (non-SDHC) *only* have 1024 byte sectors.
