Paperback or Hardcover?

[Andolinaz90]

Most definitely hardcover. The durability sells it for me. I keep all of my books and I like that they can stand nicely on a bookshelf, even after being read multiple times.

Hardcovers whenever possible. I dont like when the corners of the book crease or fold. ??

I used to always be paperback but nowadays if there is a new book I want I will get the hardcover if I don't want to wait for the paperback. You can get some good offers so it's not too much more expensive.

I think hardcover is best for bigger books and for books that are collector's edition or perhaps with a more gorgeous cover, but in terms to medium/small books I just prefer paperback for the flexibility when reading. Although the spines do tend to get worn down over time.

Hardcover, but truly yes and yes!

I love both but usually buy the paperback because it is cheaper. But if I find a good deal on hardcovers then I buy it. Paperbacks are lighter to take with you when you travel though.

If I am reading a larger book, I prefer hardcover. However, I usually go with whichever is cheapest. I read too much to spend more on hardcover, but if I can find a hardcover book that is cheaper than the paperback edition (usually used), I'll buy the hardcover edition. I am currently reading the Outlander series, which has rather thick books. If my mom had not already purchased the books in paperback for me as a Christmas present, I would probably have purchased them in hardcover since I am predicting after I have read through them a few times (I read the same book multiple times), I will need to replace them with hardcover versions.

I like the feel of a hardcover in my hands, but there's been one too many times that I've dropped them on my face when reading in bed.

Had to buy my newest one in hardcover because I just HAD to have it....But it's heavy!!!!!

Hardcover looks pretty on shelves and they don't easily get damaged so i'll go with the hardcover.

OoOooOo! I so love this question! Way back in the day when I had first moved out & was making my 1st personal library, I was a hard cover book snob. If it was a favorite author or series, absolutely hard cover!
Now, fast forward 25 years, 3 dogs that chew books, several heavy as heck Rubbermade containers full of books to awkward to drag around. Paper back has become a very acceptable form of book in my library. And to just end this off... I swore I'd never ever get ebooks! I want to feel the book in my hands! Well, head Hanging low, I have a very full kindle app& really appreciate being able drag around tons of books at the flick of a finger.

Hardcover for at home. Paperback for on the go.

Paperback or hardcover doesn't matter to me, but I do prefer a physical book!

I'm not picky. There are times when i would rather hardcover because I don't want to bend the pages or cover, but other times a paperback is easier. Right now i have all paperback books from the library!
