I need a recommendation for a good card reader, SD, CF and of course the dreaded Memory Stink. My Lexar card reader seems to be dying.

Actually Jerry, from personal experiences, I believe any old brand will do. I have a no-name all-in-one USB2.0 card reader that works just as reliably as my Belkin 16-in-1 (I think?) USB2.0 card reader. The generic branded ones will set you back around A$20, so it's not much at all. I'm not sure how
readily available they are in the US, but here in the Asia-Pacific, you can find them by the truckload.

Yeah I kinda thought so. I wonder why mine is dying. It will read the darn Memory Stink but won't read SD cards reliably.

If it's still under warranty, I'd get it replaced. It's strange for a card reader to be dying. You may have just got the rotten egg of their shipment. :(

Never ever say something that. Next thing you know, sony will claim that Memory Stinks actually prolong the life of a card reader.
