I have started to adopt this approach. I *copy* the files from the card to the PC via the card reader and then when I insert the card back to the camera I *format* it. It feels slightly strange after more than 2 years of simply *moving* the files from the card to the PC with CF cards of my *istD, but I am sure in a couple of weeks I will have this whole incident very much forgotten ;-).
