While I prefer hardcover, paperback is cheaper so I have more of those.

I like Hardcover, only because it gives me more of a sense of accomplishment over a paper back after I'm done reading it.

Once, again my post has been edited by an administrator, that is very wrong, this is a forum where you express your opinions, for everyone to see. There was no profanity or rudeness in my comment, I think what the administrator did was wrong, and should be removed of their capabilities. I know you are trying to "Manage the Forum" but deleting what people wrote is simply wrong.

I have looked for book discussion forums, and this one seems to be the most active, but nothing compares to the rude admin you have here.

I rest my case.

Buying a hardback can put a dent in the wallet. I like paperback because it is easier to carry around.

Go to Barnes & Noble, Borders or any of the big-name book retail chains, and you can usually find new releases for 25-35% off, and best sellers for 20-30% off... both of which make hardcovers a little more affordable. Personally, I prefer hardcovers from a collector's standpoint. I have my preferred authors that I like to have in hardcover format, and several of them have actually been signed, making them someone more valuable to me in hardcover format.

Hard Cover is good if you want it to be more 'official'. If it's a long book, I could go for hardcover. If it's short, or something I don't read often, softcover

To put on my bookshelf, I prefer hardcover books. They just look so cool! Hardcover books are really difficult to carry around, though, so for casual reading (or reading in general), I'd choose a paperback. I'd buy a bunch of hardcover classics that I would read only if had to. They look really nice on the shelf, especially if they've been published by the same place. But I'm rambling now. smile
