I, too, have moved to card wallet packaging for my most recent albums and it's a great way to cut the weight out of dealing with CDs.

A point no one else has made (so perhaps it's just me) is that my CD sales money normally goes into the fund for making a new album. In the past (before my "angels" project) it was to repay the loan on the previous one. These days it's money for the next one. So if I discounted the albums at a gig it would make it all the more difficult to make future recordings.

And yes, I have been charged a percentage at a festival and a concert to sell my stuff. Not good.
