Used to try to keep them but they just took up space since I never put them back on.
So yep. I throw them away.

For me it depends how nice the cover is. I don’t want to risk damage or wrinkle to a nicely illustrated one so it comes off.

On. I like the feel of the cover and like to see it every time I pick up the books. It’s one thing I miss when I read an ebook. I do like the convenience of ebooks, but really like print books.
