Will I need a reader?

I may not be understanding your question, but let me clarify:
Once you have dual-boot setup, and in regular use, you will not need a cardreader; merely connected the NC to the computer via the cable, and you will be able to move files onto the sd card etc. Your computer will see it was an extra drive.
However, if you are going to INSTALL a rom onto the sdcard, you WILL need a cardreader to prepare the dual-boot installation. To make the sdcard "bootable", you need low-level access to the card, and you can't get that kind of access by using the NC as your card-reader.
