Stoo reading the books. Just buy the books and put them on your shelves and/or make stacks of them and post photos like the rest of the people around here.

Why would you want to prevent one of the great joys of the tactile experience? I love subjugating objects with my will and essence.

Impossible.
You may compress it after the fact though.
Take some measure of pride that you have read the book, rather than simply displayed it on a shelf in pristine condition.

Don't bend it too much while reading.
There's a small shop in my city that exchanged paperback covers for hardcovers, you can also try one.

I don't ever do it this severe, but I do bend the fronts of the paperbacks I'm reading around the back when I first start them, and then I do band the backs around the front when I'm about to finish them.
