Both are the same in content, just that some people  want either one or don't really care.
 
How about you? Smiley

I will take either one, but if the book is available in both, I will take hardcover.  This way it protects the pages when its closed and easier to hold it open on the table or bed.

When i bring it with me anywhere i prefer paperback, they are easier to store and carry around.  
 
But for books that are just for home I prefer the hardcover ones because they look good especially the jackets design.

Softcover books are easier to drag around, and if I don't want to keep them I will always buy softcover.
 
However if I know that I will keep them, I will shell out the extra money and get the book in hardcover. The do look better on the bookshelf and last longer because they don't tend to fall all over the place like softcover books do.

Both..... paperbacks for my novels, for it's lightweight and it can fit easily in my bag so it's easier to carry around and it doesn't take a lot of space when storing it in your bookshelf.... but when it comes to my fave books, the ones I treasure and will treasure forever I would go with the hardcover ones... (my HP books are in hardcover from 1 to 5 Grin) for several reasons: 1.) they're more elegant and more precious to look at 2.) your friends will have second thoughts on borrowing them Grin for they know they're a bit costly, and even if they do borrow it, they will surely take good care of the book.... 3.) just like what the others said, they lasts longer even if you read them like a hundred times...

If I like the book very much and I am a collector of the author's book, I get the hardcover, especially if the book is really thick. They look good when displayed on shelves.  Grin

Paperback.  They tend to be smaller and easier to carry around.
