Soft cover. Hard cover gets heavy and hurts when your book face plants you lol

I prefer Hardbound ‘coz you know, no foldings of cover and but I’m still a student so I buy Paperbacks instead ‘coz it’s cheaper. Haha?

Depends on availability and the size of the print.
The small mass market paperbacks can be a bit tiresome sometimes.
Also if a favourite book series or author is first released in hardback before it’s available in softcover, I’ll buy the hardcover.

If I absolutely cannot have it on e-book… Paperback.
I hate hardcovers… Especially the dust jackets. I just toss them in the garbage.

I have a small house. Paperbacks take up less room so I can have more books. But I won’t turn down a hardcover.

I love hard back but they are so expensive. I usually only buy the ones of authors I love. Occasionally, there is a book that comes out that I just can’t wait for paperback. But I do say that paperback is way easier to take along in your purse or to the beach.
