Marcia, not all adapters have problems with the HC format. Just as
cameras and other devices designed before the HC came out won't work with
the HC cards, some older readers won't.
MOST newer readers will. For example, I went to my friend Google and
searched sdhc card readers. Sandisk, Kingston, and Edge pop up on the
first page. Also, many cameras support a direct USB connection and will
allow copying photos from the card to the PC. My Sony A200 and my wife's
Canon A590IS both will do that.
SOME, but not most, of the older units can have upgraded drivers applied
from their makers. It is worth a try.
Now to take them to a store and get pictures ... if they won't read them,
MY METHOD is to keep a small (64M, 256M, 512M usually) older CF or SD to
which I copy what I want printed. Having learned the hard way that the
carefully constructed directories are ignored by one darn printing
machine, I either do that or put them on an old "key drive" I keep for
that purpose anyway.
