With different types of memory cards being used for different devices, there is a pertinent need for multifunctional card readers for sure. A multifunctional card reader not only saves you a lot of money by eliminating the need to buy dedicated card readers for a particular device, but you also get to use it as an OTG device in some cases. The two things you need to check before buying a card are its compatibility with different cards and the transfer speed you get. One thing you need to understand is that it is not always about the size of the file that determines the time of a file transfer but also the quality of the file (basically the format in which the file is). Therefore, you should look for a quality card reader that performs on multiple fronts. The following list of card readers from Amazon should help you understand the one you should get for yourself.
