Paperback or Hardcover?

[lekrigbaum]

I'm really not avoiding the subject but I've been a Kindle guy for years. I can't remember the last book I bought other than reference books.

It depends on the book. Mostly I've been okay good with either but, Dude! It's 2020! I can't live without my Kindle.

Of course paperback. No doubt. Because it's lighter and feeling classic.

[Maya28]

Paperback, because they are lighter and easier to carry with me.

Hardbacks are my favorite, I just love how they feel when I read them. But I dont mi d the paperbacks at all! The only dislike on paperbacks is that it is smaller which makes the words smaller.

Paperback at home and then digital when on holiday. An actual book just is more special.

I prefer to hold a paperback. I tend to be a bit rough on my books.

I prefer hardcover overall. However, paperback can be a blessing because they are cheaper!

[Minter]

I like hardcover.

Paperbacks are cheaper, so I mostly get those, but I usually get a hardcover if I think the book is going to be special to me

[Weird_Illustrator]

Paperback. They usually look nicer and fit better into my bag when I'm not at home. Also they're cheaper which is something I have to consider with the amount of books I'm currently buying ^^'

Hardcover all the way! I've got nothing against paperbacks, but when I buy a hardcover you better believe it's because I love the book and I'm going to reread the heck out of it. Not only are they fancier, but they stay nice longer. I take books just about everywhere and it's a personal pet peeve of mine when the covers of paperbacks get bent or folded, even if it's just a little bit on the corners. A damaged cover is less likely to happen with a hardback.

I always opted for paperback copies back when ebooks are still unavailable. They're lighter, cheaper, and are more often of still good quality in secondhand stores or booksales. I did - still do - buy some hardbounds for books I can afford to put down.

Hardcovers are way too expensive and hard to carry around. Definitely paperback.

I prefer hardcover just because I like the feel of it better, and when I'm lying in bed I can lay the book down and it will stay open on its own. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind paperbacks and if I buy a book in either hardcover or paperback, I'm the kind of girl who makes it a priority to finish the series in the same style of binding that I bought the first book in lol. Either way, I'm happy.
