Yes, I just tried that approach and can copy jpeg files directly from
the sd card. I have a reader left over from my disappointing experiments
with the Raspberry Pi B2.
However pulling the sd card if done often it seems could result in other
problems. I doubt the designer expected it to be pulled and reinserted
often during the life of the device.
But it would have worked for me the other day when I wanted just the
last picture taken without dealing with 200 image files.
Set the write-enable tab on the SD card to "Read Only" mode before you
stick it in your USB<-->SD reader. You really can't harm it by reading
from it. The system can't write to the SD this way so you won't eat one
of the SD's write cycles.
I do this quite often since my camera won't power up or charge using
USB and I've found that often the battery is dead on it when I want to
pull photos off. So it's either yank the battery, recharge the
beblistered thing and wait so I can use USB; or pull the SD card out
and get the stuff that way. I generally go for the latter, but that's
me--I've also been known to yell at a microwave oven to tell it to
"HURRY UP!"
