Anyone else take off the book covers of the hardbacks they are reading?
Just while I’m reading em so they don’t get damaged
Yes they get in the way. Is it wrong that I hate hardbacks ?
Same prefer paperback. Only get hardcover when it’s a new release and I don’t want to wait
Same here. They hurt my hand lol
They’re uncomfortable to read but I can’t STAND creasing the spine of a paperback so prefer hardback in that respect. But 90% of my books are paperback
I don’t get why people don’t like creasing the spines of paperbacks. I love doing this as its like putting my own mark on it. I like the fact that it looks read on my shelf too ??
Amanda I tend to agree. I get why people don’t like it but I LOVE the look of a read and well loved book. Makes me happy.
??
Always do. And then I usually can’t remember what I done with them lol
No, but I always have them in a brodart cover
Yes when I’m reading them. They annoy me and I don’t want them damaged
Same
Yup
Glad I am not the only one?

I hope you mean dust-jacket and not the entire cover. ..
Yes, the dust jacket, I love my books:)
I call it a cover too ???
Always!
I always keep them on…
Yeah while I’m reading them so they don’t get hurt
Don’t get hurt. Lol I love that..books have feeling too ❤

Yep, I used to. Now I just buy the hardcovers that I’m going to get signed. Now I either listen to the book on my commute or read it on my Kindle.
Depends on the book.
Just to read and then I put them back on when I’m done. I like to keep the jacket in good condition
I do
No, I always leave them on and use the flaps as a bookmark.

Yes, while I am reading it.
I usually don’t and library books got theirs taped on pretty good. Still, I read mostly paperbacks.
Always. Gotta keep them safe
Always; they’re a pain !
Yes, to keep them from getting damaged.
I do that to why keep it on when you are reading the book? It’s a pain in the bum.
I have to take it off as I reading one too. I like for them to stay in good condition.
same here
Yes unless they are wraped
I dont. ?. I tape it so it wont fall off. And it it has cool things on the inside cover then i dont tape the paper that covers the inside. Like the book i am currently reading?
Yes because I don’t want them to get ruined

Yes, I would hate to see the dust jacket get torn …
Yup!! Cannot stand a dust jacket – I always put it back on when I’m not reading though ?

If I can….but it’s sort of impossible to remove dust jackets from library books.
True. I clean those, who knows where they’ve been ??? horrible jerms. I want to know that my books are CLEAN. Put them on my bed or night stand ect…
Yes
