I prefer paperback, they are easy to handle and the price difference in my country is large.

I'm more of a hardback fan because hardbacks are more durable and I hate creases or tears on my books.

Most of my books that I own are paperback, although I don’t really have a preference.

I really don't mind either one of them but paperback is more flexible and easy to carry around.

Paperback because they're cheaper to buy, and easier to carry along.

Definitely paperback for me. It's a lot harder to hold hardbacks

It doesn’t really bother me either way. I only have paperback but that’s only because they’re cheaper than the hardcover ones

Paper back is easier to carry if you need an extra hand. I prefer hard cover when I can sit and fully dive into a book.

I definitely prefer hardback! I agree with some of the other posts on here, it's nice that paperback is usually cheaper. But I just really love the feel of a hardcover. I always take the book cover off when I'm actually reading the book so it stays really nice (I know, I'm a book snob) :D I am also crazy and have to make sure all the books I have in a series match.

I love hardcover. Though it can be really expensive but it's always worth it. I can take it everywhere I go without worrying about it tearing or getting crumpled. I love my books neat.
