Title: Hardcover or Paperback?
Post by mylane on Mar 13th, 2004, 11:46am
Both are the same in content, just that some people  want either one or don't really care.

How about you? :)

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 ;D) for several reasons: 1.) they're more elegant and more precious to look at 2.) your friends will have second thoughts on borrowing them ;D 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.  ;D

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

I prefer paperback so it is easier for me to hold and it is lighter on my handbag.

For reference books I prefer hardcover...for ex. gardening books, sewing...hardcover is the best for me.

I read in bed, Mrs NJ so paperback is quite ideal for me, too. But I found out that if I sit up in bed while reading, hardcover is ideal to prop up on my knees or on a pillow.

I try to read in bed but I read it while laying down...I can't prop the book...I have weak neck.  

Its really interesting to see different people read....my husband makes fun of me while reading....

Anything. I am one person who's unable to go to sleep without reading my pocketbook. To some it's counting sheep, to me it's reading. ;)
