In *my* usage case, the desire for an SD card in "portable" format is 
mostly so that if the device fails I can still get to any data that 
hasn't yet been backed up.

Yes, I have thought of USB-OTG as a means of transferring data, and I 
have done that, but WiFi usually does the trick well enough.

You suggest an interesting question, though: Why can't I install an app 
onto a USB flash drive and be able to run it when I connect that drive 
using an OTG adaptor? It seems a useful sort of thing to be able to do. 
Maybe a future version of Android will allow me to format a USB stick as 
"internal" storage ...

I've thought of that, too ... but all the readers I've seen are a bit 
bulky and the danger of catching them on something and damaging the USB 
port is rather off-putting!
