What about hardcover and paperback do you like? Do you prefer one or the other?
Paperback … I don’t tend to like the feel of the hardback
Me too
I try to always buy hardcover when I can. 98% of my books are hardcover.
Am ok with either. As long as it isn’t a kindle ??
Paperback since it’s cheaper. But sometimes I’m drawn to hardcovers because of the beautiful designs.
Depends, if I haven’t read the book, then whichever is available. And then I’ll buy the Hardcover for re-reading:P
Both
Whichever is available…I am not picky.
Paper back
If its a series, I want them all in hardback. Lol. And I like all my Stephen king books to be hardback as well
I prefer hardcover—they fall open nicely for eating while you read, plus, they look pretty on the shelf and model so beautifully for Bookstagram ???
It doesn’t matter to me. A book is a book no matter how I get it.
I like both but for some reason I have a hard time keeping paperback in good condition so I try and get hardback when I can. I have a mixture of both.
Don’t really care much
No preference as long as I am reading.
I don’t like dust jackets on hard covers
I prefer paperback because they are smaller and lighter, easier to hold with one hand. Fit better into my purse/bag. They have a slight give when I hug them. ? But seriously.
Both suites me just fine !!!
I always buy paperbacks. Hard covers are just more expensive and big. Haha. And the jacket gets annoying.
I love them both equally
Both
The font format is what important to me. Don’t really care if it’s hardcover or paperback.
I prefer hardcover but I do own some paperbacks
I prefer hardcovers, but I’ve many paperbacks. I have to say that many of them are very difficult for me to read, with my aging eyes. One thing that drives me to limited editions of some books is that they tend to have larger print–and it’s better printed, too.
I prefer hardback because I’m always worried about bending my paperback books
HB
Hardback for reading chair; paperback for bed
Hard cover <3
Hardcover
I prefer paperback because I love the bend and flexibility x
Paperback for novels (or increasingly, my kindle) but hardbacks if it’s something with diagrams/ drawing, prints etc.
I like paperback because they are cheaper but I like hardback because I can carry them in my purse without them getting as banged up 🙂
Like paperbacks..So much easier to drag around!
Paperback … easier to carry and tuck in my small shoulder bag
I like both hardcover and paperback. I also have a kindle and I use it.
I love both <3
I like hard cover…then paperback but I have to wait a long time for a book I like in Barnes and Noble come out in hard cover. ?
Hardcover ?
Paper
I prefer hardbacks because they hold up better over time. I like how inexpensive paperbacks are.
Depending on circumstances. Lol
I much prefer hard cover over paperback. I don’t mind the trade paperback, is that what they are called? The ones that are about the same size as hardcover? But, I do not like standard sized paperbacks.
You are correct, the trade paperback is the larger one. The smaller ones are called mass market paperbacks.
hard
I prefer my hardcovers, but if i can’t find it then I’ll get paper back
Both!❤
I do love hardback, but i will buy paperback also
Both! Also sometimes depends on how I want to spend my book money. Some authors I will automatically buy their books in hardcover. Others I will wait for the paperback (or buy the hardcover when it’s remaindered at Barnes and Noble. Fun to pick up the hardcover when it costs less than the current paperback.)
I much prefer hardcover books, but I’ll take my books in any format! ?❤️
I like paperbacks because they fit in a handbag, some hardbacks can to but there’s always the temptation to use them as a weapon.(:
Both.
I prefer hardcover
Hardcover is generally more aesthetic to look at , but a paperback being lighter , is far easier to hold and read
paper back
I feel like my hands will get the hardback dirty. lol Or I will rip/ruin the beautiful cover. lol
I love the look of hardback. But for ease of reading and coat effectiveness, I much prefer paperbacks. With most hardcover being 20 to 30 dollars, I can’t get 2 to 3 paperbacks for that price.

What ever comes out first by my favorite authors.
I love both hard cover and paperback books
Paperback
Paperback. They’re cheaper, so I can afford the better. Also, I will be able to buy more books.
Soft cover
Soft cover more comfortable to hold.
I try to wait for certain authors in paperback. Paperbacks are cheaper, more books can fit on shelves. If I can hardcovers cheaper at the thrift store.
