Now if the third option would be e-book then I´d have even more hard time choosing.

Hardcovers, however, have this vibe that screams their real books.

I've never thought of that I guess you're in danger of hitting yourself in the face with a book if you fall asleep. It would be very funny for anyone else that saw it though.pinefamily wrote: ↑08 Feb 2018, 16:48 It's what is in between the covers that matters more. I have no preference, although I have tended to buy more new books in paperback due to cost. Also hardbacks can present a danger when reading in bed, and falling asleep.

On the plus side, it wakes you up enough to read some more.

To be honest, I think Paperbacks are really underrated. Even though it's true that Hardcover shapes up your bookshelf pretty good, and the pages in between doesn't fall apart after some time (unlike paperback), Paperback is a lot easier if you're some kind of a traveler. You can carry it around easily because of the elasticity and the weight of it.

I'm a noob.
I usually buy paperback books, because they tend to be smaller, and more portable.
