Sorry about posting this here, but the 3DS forums won't allow me to login to post. :(

I have gotten to love downloading games from the eShop rather than purchasing game cards at the store.  Unfortunately, games like NSMB2 and Mario Kart 7 take up a TON of space, and I was on the original 2GB SD card.  

I purchased an 8GB card, but I need some help transferring data from the old card to the new one.  I saw Nintendo's support topic, but it seems to require a PC that has an SD card slot, and my laptop does not.  Is there another way?  Links are also welcome!  And thank you!

No.
All you do is copy paste the files from one sd card to the other.

Yes, it seems like a pretty simple process IF I had an SD slot on my laptop.  So in the absence of that, it sounds like I would need an SD card reader...

Thanks for the replies, guys.  I ended up ordering a card reader from Amazon and I should get it by Friday, so we'll see how it goes.
