Exactly.
A good reader will have an activity light (just like a floppy) that
will let you know this.
Some do, some don't ... and sometimes their lights work differently
I use card readers all the time and if I wait until the device is
finished I do not need to unmount it.
Agreed ... it gets tricky however when you have Window's AutoPlay etc...

I just discovered today that my new RX700 Epson printer which has card
slots on it, also will act as an external reader.

In Windows or OS X or Linux it is my understanding that it is

accessed when you disconnect it.
For this purpose, there is the green arrow "Safely remove hardware
icon" in the XP system tray and throwing the desktop drive icon in
the trash in OSX.
Recently, a friend of mine just hosed a 4 GB SD disk of mine when
she was copying pics off it by failing to do this. She wasn't sure
what she was doing and plugged and unplugged it several times...
