I am looking into getting a USB Flash Card reader for my Kodak Dig Camera using Compact Flash Card. Anyone have experience with them? I have seen them for as little as $14.95 up to the $ 60's. Any recommendations?

Yep. I bought one two weeks ago. Got the DAZZLE smart media card reader. Very cool, and opens the files almost instantly. Only $19.99 in Radio Shack. Thoroughly recommend it!
You obviously know, get the one for your card type. That's all!
I can't believe how much better it is than waiting for AGES to read my photos from the stupid com port via my camera!

If your Kodak is one that supports it you might want to get the docking cradle. I have one for mine and it's really nice. Just put the camera in it and the pictures download at the press of a button, and it charges up the battery pack.
If you can't use the dock and your camera does not have a USB connector then I would definately recommend getting a card reader. As XxxFrancisxxxUSA said they are a lot faster then using a serial port. :)
