I don't either, but you would still need to reformat the card to use the new file system.
That may lead to other problems. For instance, I use a USB card reader to get files from my desktop onto the SD card for my PDA. With cards formatted as FAT16 or FAT32, it's a drag and drop: Windows sees the card in the reader as a removable media drive. Put a different file system on the card and that advantage goes away.

I have a lot of papers and I like to sort them like this:
01 Texts/05 New Media/01 Computer Games/01 Meta Reviews Violence/Anderson and Bushman/...
Then I have long filenames like this one:
Ferguson_The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. A Meta-analytic Review of Positive and Negative Effects of Violent Video Games.pdf
Now iLiad produces a new folder when I read it... and  bang Windows hangs...

It's not Windows. It's the FAT32 file system.
Personally, I change my filing system to fit the constraints of the device I'm on, and I may well shorten the file name on a document. I know what the actual title is. I don't need the whole thing as part of the file name. I just need enough to know that file corresponds to that title.
I have about 3,500 ebooks on a
wide variety of topics on my PDA, and I have no problem locating and opening the one I want to read. My complaint is that there isn't a standard ebook format everyone supports, so I must maintain five different viewers to cover all the bases, and recall which text is in which format displayed by which viewer.
