I do not care. Lately I have been reading on my kindle so neither one is an option for me with that.

I like having a physical book in my hand. Either paperback or hardback for me.

Either. I love to read so for me it does not matter.

Paper back for me. So much easier to handle.

Paper backs are fun to read as they are tiny and fit into a purse or jacket pocket, so they go with me anywhere. Conversely, hard back books are good to read as the print is usually more bold, (making it easier to read for long hours) and the feel of the book is substantial. Personally, I like both. I just love reading. :3

Though I don't mind either or, I tend to lean toward paper backs. I like being able to fold it back when I want to, and I find them easier to hold, as they're not as heavy feeling.

I don't mind either. A book is a book to me.

Occasionally, I treat myself to a hardback book from the bookstore. The price is always more than paperback, but for me, it feels like an affordable luxury that I look forward to.

I just love to read so either. But hardbacks seem to last a lot longer so maybe hardbacks.

I am not much choosy into this. I am fine with either one of them. As you can see that hard paper back often is good for travel and other purpose. And in some cases paperback with the small stories or so would be good enough too. I don't have much preference these days. Because with the Kindle app you can see that it is possible to have some of the good books out there. And so that makes you not much get into the preference for the same. I don't have preference into the same from what I have seen.

I like hard back because it looks better on the shelf and is very reliable. Sadly, not many books are published in hard back and if they are they cost much more than paper back so I rarely buy them. I have some books that are hard back and they look very luxurious.

I am not just a book reader but also a book collector. I like to buy books, read them and store safely on the bookshelf. I have a small library and one day I would like to build a large library. Therefore, I prefer to buy hard back. sadly, I cannot buy hard back most of the time because they are super pricy. I can get three paper backs for the price of two bard backs. When I buy books, I also focus on number of books instead the quality of book binding

I used to collect books. But after some years the space kind of increased. So you can see that paperback consumes space. And also increases the dust and the insects in the space. So it's reasonable to have the devices where we can read the stuff. So it is definitely a good thing to learn from.

I like print books, however, storing print books is costly and difficult. You need book selves, you need a lot of space etc. Therefore, I also find digital books more handy. If you use digital books, you can store thousands of books on a device that has the size of your thumb. Since a couple of years, I am buying more digital books compared to print books.

Indeed the storage and the maintenance is a bit harder. And the reason being the space keeps on increasing for such. And we can't have such option for all our books. It may mean we have to change few things in that context. Paperback wise it's a good experience.

It all depends on personal preference. In my case, as long as I like the writer or the plot, I really don't care if it's hardback or paperback. But, I love to read, so it's hard for me to get rid of a book. That's why I always try to buy hardback books, they preserve for longer than the ones with paper cover. The bad side, is that usually those are the more expensive ones, and nowadays I'm trying to value every single penny I have. However, if the book is from one of my favorite authors, then I rather do the investment and get the hardback one. Money on reading is always a good investment.

Most hardback books are actually more expensive and that's the reason I mostly buy paperback books. Moreover, it is easier to fit paperback books in my bag. I think when it comes to kids it is better to buy hardback books for them as they will resist wear and tear.
