Paperback or Hardcover?

[Rain18]

Wow! I haven't touched either in a really long time - I much prefer e-books. If I had to pick up an actual book though, it would be a paperback. It's more portable and much more flexible.

As an English student I like to annotate my books and write my notes all over them and my thoughts and feeling about the page. So I prefer paperback for that reason because they’re easier to handle.

However, hardbacks seem more fancy to me so I like to have hardbacks of my favourite books. This keeps them sustainable to read over and over again without much damages

Budget-wise I'd have to say paperback

I prefer paperbacks as I find it easier to hold and read in with one hand.

[Ann Mattocks]

Paperback is my go-to book if I'm not reading on Kindle. I like to roll my book so that I can hold it easier one-handed. Hardback books are bulky and more money than I'm willing to spend on myself.

I prefer paperback because it't easier to read lying down and because it's cheaper >.>
Cheaper means I can buy more books overall.

[Joe Hadithi]

Paperbacks are easier to read while hard covers are great for the longterm, so both?

[KCWolf]

I have no preference, except that in hardbacks the print is usually a little larger and easier on my eyes. Sometimes the font in paperbacks is too small, and I get migraines real easily.

(My preference ultimately is audiobooks for that reason).

Hardcover. I love how good it feels to own one and how beautifully designed most hardcovers are.

[Mathew Makau]

I prefer paperbacks since they are cheaper...i don't have to go for the expensive hardcover which contain exactly the same content....i only need to handle the paperbacks with care,

Paperback books are much more comfortable to hold than hardback books. Not only is it cheaper (hahaha...) it is also much more fragile and easier to rip so I tend to take care of it better.

I prefer the tablet copy of a book because I have so many books that my house is cluttered. I can't take in any more. Before that happened though, I loved reading hardcovers.

[Asisha Joseph]

Hardback looks much prettier. Paperback is lighter though!

[Margaret1756]

Hardcover for displays in the house or coffee table or side table corner table. But collections online mode.

I like hard cover better, because it's durable compared to paper back.
