I just buy either. Generally though most of my books are paperback. But the difference in price doesn't really bother me. If I want a book and it's only available in Hardback, then the way I see it, it is worth getting.

I prefer paperbacks though, they are usually less clunky. Some hardbacks however are better. See: House of leaves. It uses colour etc while the Paper back version is B&W only.
