Eliminating ebooks for a second here - let's go old school. Before there was a such thing as a Kindle or Nook when we were all forced to hold an actual book in our hands, which did you prefer to hold?
This has always interest me. I know people who would choose a paperback over a hardcover and then there are people like me who do EVERYTHING they can to make sure any book they own is in hardcover (unless, of course, it was never released in that format).
I'm curious to your choice and why you prefer (or preferred if you read books via kindle/nook) that format.
Here's why I love hardcovers. They're more durable. I find they are easier to read than paperbacks. They can be used as a weapon. Most times (at least with me) you can't even tell I read a book unless its paperback. The cover always bends, no matter how hard I try not to do it...it happens. But a hardcover, its beautiful and new looking. I like my books to last awhile, especially since I lend them to other people.
Here's the best example I have. I have a set of the HUNGER GAMES in hardcover and UK paperback edition. The paperbacks are falling apart, literally. The hardcovers are in near mint condition. (The first book has a damaged corner from ME dropping it the day I got it lol) I got these books about two to three months apart from each other. I've read both just as many times but yet the pages aren't about to fall out of the hardcover version.
So now that I have shared with you my preference and why I prefer it...let's hear it. Leave in the comments which you love and why! I'm totally curious how many prefer which format!
