It's what is inside that counts!
-
I always buy the hardcover. If it is only in paperback, I'll get that, but only then.
-
Cheaper and lighter. I read on the move in buses, trains, and planes.
-
I don't.
-
Paperbacks are easier to read but are more disposable. Hardbacks look better on shelves and last longer.
-
Hardcover.... they hurt more when you want to smack the crap out of somebody
-
Price and portability.
-
Two reasons: they are cheaper, and they lighter to put in my bag and carry with me. I do prefer hardbacks, but I will never choose one over paperback unless I just can't wait for it to be published in paperback.
-
They fit in my jacket pocket. It lets me always have a book with me if I'm stuck somewhere waiting.
-
easier to stick in my purse and easier to hold when I am laying down to read
-
I usually read best sellers and do not want to wait a year for the paperback. Also the print is larger in a hardcover.
-
Because I like to read in bed and when I fall asleep and drop the book on my face (a) it often does not wake me up and (b) it doesn't hurt like a hard back.
-
hard back if series and paperback the rest of time +5
-
I prefer hardback because I'm not too gentle with my books

hardback: they last longer
-
I have arthritis in my hands. The paperback is easier to hold.
