That sounds good.  You need to create a directory under /mnt, say 
/mnt/reader.  Then as root you need to mount it

mount /dev/sda /mnt/reader

The only problem is that you will be accessing your pictures as root.  
You will need to put them somewhere that you have access to - say a 
subdirectory under your /home, then, still as root, change the owner 
to yourself.  All your accessing is done via konqueror (assuming you 
use kde), and you simply copy the files into your subdirectory.  

Don't use linux to erase the card or reformat it - often it destroys 
it - but otherwise it should be fine.
