I believe Bob has one of these.

However, if the computer can't detect the reader then it may be a
kernel issue.  Did you compile your own kernel or use the default
distro one?

I had trouble getting my Gentoo box to detect my e-reader until I
enabled a kernel option (something about all LUNs in the SCSI section)
for the host-side USB stuff to work.
