Paperback or Hardcover?

[MsTri]

I too prefer paperback, as they're usually smaller and lighter to carry.

[ebethina]

I don't know, I think I like both, but if I really had to chose I would chose paperback because they are lighter

[Basya]

Hardcover . I prefer a book that can stand up to repeated readings.

Hi, I like paperbacks for on the go, and hardcover if it's a real good book!

[Orang-U-Can]

Hardcover when I can afford them, I never take paperbacks out of the library.

[Leonidas Ndeta]

Paperback is lighter to carry around so you don't have to tire yourself with a heavier load

[Nick Rones]

I can go either way.
Paperbacks travel better, but hardcovers are more durable.

I agree. This makes hardcovers ideal for great books that you continuously want to re-read

Paperbacks! I tend to stuff them in m purse or backpack. They get pretty beat up by the time I'm done. For me they are easier to handle and I can sling them around some. I also tend to bend them back as I'm reading and I write in them as I go.

I honestly thought the popular opinion from readers would be hardcover. I don't know why. I guess I've only heard people rave about hardcover books. I myself am a lover of paperback. It's so much easier to hold when you read and carry and transport with you. I don't like carrying heavy loads of stuff but I do love to read physical copies of books so I always reach for paperback. However, I find very short hardcovers are cute and better than large hardcovers.

I usually get paperbacks. They are easier to hold if the book is long. Paperbacks are also cheaper and easier to take places.

[Arthur Muthee]

I find both to be adequate for me however, Hard cover's the real deal for me.

[Heather_Mc]

I don't mind reading hardcovers as long as I'm in the comfort of my own home. When I have to go out somewhere I need to spend time waiting for something though (doctor's appointments and the like), paperbacks are more convenient.

[Mary Garrison]

I like paperback because they are easier to hold and are normally cheaper.

[Mindi]

I generally read paperbacks. Sometimes, I read hardbacks, too.

[yoana]

I like both. But I buy most paperbacks because they are cheaper.
