Per the advice from this list, I picked up the lightroom book by Resnick and Spritzer (not to be confused with Resnick and Halliday). They make a big deal that you should format the card in your camera after every use, and that you shouldn't delete the last file written to the card.
I've never had any sort of problems just treating my SD cards like hard drives, and only occasionally reformatting. The only card I've had problems with is a Patriot 16GB I recently picked up that worked a charm in the K100, but is spastic in the K20. Is their advice valid? Valid, even though problems are rare, valid on CF, used to be valid, but no longer a problem? -- The fastest way to get your question answered on the net is to post the wrong answer.
