Paperback or Hardcover?

[Tsheola Asavela]

When it comes to the pleasure or sake of reading, I don't mind both but, hardcover lasts longer and looks nicer whether on the shelf or just looking at it.

I prefer paper back because it is easier to fold into my pocket and carry along when I am in motion.

Paperbacks are just more readable to me. Hardbacks are heavy to carry around, and if you read a lot then you probably have two on you at all times, which causes problems. If you're a collector and like having books looking pretty on a shelf, then hardbacks are good. In my opinion, books are made to be read and not looked at, but as I always say, 'as long as you're not hurting anybody, do you homie.'

Paperback is more colourful and lighter while hardcover lasts longer.

I prefer paperback because they are easy to carry along and much comfortable to read everywhere. Since I love reading and tend to buy lot of books, it is much cheaper than hardcover. It is also very ideal for me whenever I leave home and go somewhere else, it is much more lighter that it fits perfectly well on my backpack.

I am a fan of hardcover. But it depends on the amount of pages in the book. If the hardcover is weighty, I get the paperback. If I love the book enough, I will purchase the hardcover later. The paperback then gets passed on to someone else to enjoy.

I prefer paperback because it's cheaper, and easier to carry around in my purse.

Paperback. Much lighter and thinner, so you can fit more on your shelves!

It doesn't matter to me. I like either. I try to stick to having all books in a series be either all paperback or hardcover, but more of than not I'll have a mix. It doesn't bother me much. I hate when my books get tore up and stuff, but st the same time it's like yea I really like that book. I have a copy of Where the Red Fern Grows that is paperback and it is all tore up because it was one of my favorite books when I was younger.

Paperbacks any time, I find hard covers cumbersome.

Either does it for me. Most of my books are paperback though. I like to keep my books in great condition..no dog ears or ripped pages.

I prefer paper backs they are easier to handle and carry around and hard covers tend to occupy more space.
