Even time I use a paperback I always end up bending the cover and it juts into the air. How do I stop this?

Take a pic of a messed up book and another of you holding a book. More if you hold in a variety of ways.

Actually, I’m not sure how I hold it. I’m very weird about how I read books. Is there a video I can watch?

dude, that's normal. Paperback is cheap, so treat the material as the cheap-ass garbage it is and rough-house it until it's comfortable. But still, always respect the material that delivers the ideas. Simple principle for treatment of one's own property. If the quality and craftsmanship is low or nonexistent, treat it as it deserves, with consideration towards its use, and don't feel bad about what feels like "abuse."

Thanks Anon. I love this book and the words that are written, I got another one by another church father and I legit didn’t even want to open it because what was inside was beautiful; and I didn’t want my hands to ruin the presentation of a beautiful message unless it was inevitable.

THIS IS OP, MY QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED. IF YOU WANT TO RESPOND, PLZ SAGE.
