I would choose hardcover, since you're able to open the book all the way without folding/ruining the spine. Hardcovers are more expensive, but you can also re-sell them for more than you could re-sell a used paperback.

I prefer hardcover, but usually buy whatever's cheaper (on those rare occasions that I buy)
For gifts, I always buy hardcover.

Hardcovers are easier to read since the size of paperbacks was increased.

I hate those old low quality paperbacks where the font is often so small that you would need a magnifying glass to read the text.
I prefer the hardcover, but high quality paperbacks are good too. For example the paperbacks in The British Library Crime Classics series are really gorgeous.

Hardback for anything I would be intending to keep for the collectable value and protection.

Paperback because they are lighter and easier to read in various positions. For instance, sometimes I like to lie on my side and read, and this is easier with a paperback.

I loathe cheap mass market paperbacks. But I prefer a quality paperback to hardcover because it’s lighter, it’s easier to handle, and it hurts a lot less when you drop it on your face when you fall asleep reading in bed.

Hardcover. I move around too frequently for paperbacks; they are often damaged no matter how carefully I handle their designated carrying cases.

Most often paperback because it's cheaper to get.

I think Hardcovers look much nicer on my shelf. I used to buy primarily paperbacks because most of my reading was done on a bus to and from work, and paperbacks are a lot easier to carry around.

It matters little if at all. I take books out of the public library rather than buy them but if I ever buy one again I would prefer to save money.

I prefer hardcover for new books, but I really love the old paperback artwork for books published in the 1950's through 1970's. Especially the old Penguin Classics published in the late 1960's and 1970's.

Especially the old Penguin Classics published in the late 1960's and 1970's. That's it. This is the reason why. Ever since I was 8 years old and read my very first Agatha Christie novel, "Evil Under the Sun" and the delicious artwork on the cover. This made a HUGE impression upon my psyche and remains to this day. Especially the pulp fiction from the 60s and early 70s, i just love it. For Dame Agatha artwork, my paperback preference is Pocketbook publications. I even love the font. |
