It just seems like, in the devices I've seen, the memory card ejection
system isn't designed for a lot of use -- especially the ones that are
spring-loaded. Then there's the possibility of getting fingerprints or
dirt on the contacts of the cards as they're being handled. It's
probably less wear and tear on the devices to plug them in rather than
swap cards, especially if you intend to do this often.
