You can easily go for the IDE card reader.I installed it myself in the place when the floppy drive used to be :) Here is the manual http://home.tiscali.nl/%7Esmeyer/mpc/
It's very easy.

You can buy one from this shop - they can send the stuff to Sweden (just checked it)

By the way - don't update the OS to 1.20 before installing the card reader.If you use the 1.14,leave it in your 2000xl.It will work fine :)
Good luck!
