Paperback or Hardcover?

I prefer a paperless version. My library is my kindle. I can carry my entire library with me wherever I go.

I used to prefer hardcovers, as a child. I’ve found that my tastes have changed with age and I now prefer paperbacks.

Hardcover all the way. I don’t like how easy it is to ruin paperback books. However, there are times when paperbacks are more satisfying to read out of. If I feel like I don’t mind ruining the cover or spine of a certain book, then ai don’t mind reading paperback.

Hardbacks, because the paperbacks get too quickly destroyed, specially when they are thick.

I prefer paperback books, because they are easy to carry in your purse or briefcase. Also you can purchase book covers for paperbacks for extra protection.

Paperbacks always!

I love both so much, that is so hard to choose! But I think I have to choose Hardcover. There is just something so nice about them!

I like both of them. If I want to go with a cheaper option, then I would prefer paperback, but personally, I am more inclined towards hardcovers.

I don't care about the looks of a book or whether its paperback or hardcover. I just need the content to be suited to my needs, like they say, never judge a book by its cover!

I'm not much of a collector, so I usually go for paperbacks because they're easy to just toss in my purse to carry around with me.

Exactly! As long as the story is good, I'm happy

Most of my books are paperback, but I prefer hardcover because paperback is more prone to tearing.

Paperbacks are cool and all, but hardcovers last way longer. So, when I wanna share some of my top books with my friends, I make sure to grab the hardcover versions.

I use them both, I can't choose which is the best option. For me it's the same

A tough debate for me. I own plenty of paperback and hardcover books, and I don't have an issue with any of the designs. I must point out, though, that hardcovers offer more support for the hand while you're reading, alongside with the fact that the cover doesn't get damaged after prolonged use. For example, a paperback's cover might get bent or torn while being carried in a bag. I've had plenty of paperbacks suffer because of my backpack, which upsets me. I haven't found a foolproof solution for this issue yet, and will be looking forward to receiving feedback on how I can save my paperbacks
