Hardback or paperback?

The subject of hardback or paperback has come up in various postings here, some people say that they prefer hardbacks, some people say they prefer paper backs, and I was wondering what the ratio actually is

So what do you all prefer? I, personally, prefer paperbacks. I like paperbacks because they are easy to hold, portable,easy to store.

I can see the merits of both so don't have a particular preference.

Paperback. Hardcover may be more durable, but it's also more expensive and takes up more space

Paperback...
You can't fold a hardcover book over when you're reading...

Usually I prefer hardcover. If it's a short novel I might choose the paperback.

I like hardcover when it comes to books that are 800 pages long. When it comes to short novels about 295 pages I like paperback. So I like them both. smile

I prefer paperback because its lighter. I tend to read on the train on my way to uni.
I'd go for a hardback only if I can't wait for the paperback version to come out

Paperbacks coz the corners don't hurt as much when they dig into you.

I usually go for paperback because they're smaller, lighter, and cheaper...though huge books like Harry Potter I've got in hardcover, because most of my paperbacks are pretty beat up from being read so many times...like I have the paperback edition of the Lord of the Rings where it's all in one huge novel (and it's about 1100 pages long), and the first 100 or so pages fell out because it's been read so many times.

I rather Hard Backs, they are more exclusive and, well, nicer. They also don't get damaged as much as paperbacks.

i prefer buying paperback books over hardback ones because they are lighter and easier to manage when you read them from any comfortable reading position.

I like hardback books. The words are bigger and they are just nicer! They are more appealing to me as well.

i like hardcover books but they're too expensive. i'd say 90% of my books are paperbacks, and most of them are second hand.

I don't know, I like paperbacks but one of my favourite books which is paperback is pretty beat-up because I've lean't it to a lot of my friends, and I'm very dissappointed because It's an orginal print so It could be worth a lot some day sad
