Most probably two. But if I choose the Card+stick-reader option, I will
buy two readers.

Is it strictly required for the Card.

Portability, the physical one, is near, if not on the very top of the
list of priorities. I've got two PCs and a netbook (without a slot for
PCMCIA/ExpressCards). That's why I don't consider buying ID-O (full
size) Card and *some* readers.

Most probably not. No PC I know and don't trust, has GPG installed. If
it won't by mine the it will belong to someone who is conscious enough
to both: install GPG and keep the PC quite clean.

I am not that paranoid to carry a full sized card reader with a PIN pad
with me.

Without but with a Gemalto USB Shell Token V2 reader (USB stick form
factor).
