The old Sony PRS-600 has a Sony Pro Memory Duo slot and works with an M2 adapter if needed. Although it was expensive at the time it was released, the Sony Reader also came with an SD card slot (which is now standard on the latest model, PRS2THBC). Using any Linux distribution, a user can quickly use their Sony Reader as a card reader for either media if they find themselves without an SD or Sony Memory card reader handy. Most laptops and desktops are equipped with a memory card slot and USB memory card readers are dirt cheap, but users can actually access both internal memory and card storage through a Linux file manager just by plugging the Sony Reader to a USB port.
The screenshots below show PCMANFM in Lubuntu accessing the contents of an M2 Duo and SD card. Unlike Windows, which would require an application like Calibre to access memory cards in a mass storage device, no software packages are necessary to browse either media.
