Can anyone else only read hardcovers? I have a kindle and plenty of paperbacks but I always hate reading them and often don't finish in order to pick up a hardcover copy. I can't be the only one.

I prefer hardcovers because they're typically better made and easier to read. Especially larger books, paperback is hard to hold for extended periods of time.

I don't like reading on computers or nooks or anything like that. It's hard to get into anything like that.

You can get a used hardcover copy of nearly any book used for $4 or $5. Literally no reason to bother with paperbacks. I'll take a decent condition hardcover copy for $5 over a $10 or $15 new paperback any day.

im the opposite i never liked hard covers, they are too heavy, their spines/edges stab you...and they are clunky to store and move around

really hate them actually
paperbacks are best
but for the most comfort i like my e-reader

Once again, how do you hold a hardcover if you have manlet hands?
Someone told me that using glasses case is convenient, is that a thing?

thanks anon, currently i abuse my books, dog ears and all the sins; perhaps i should develop more respect for objects.

You can make some origami bookmarks if you make lots of dog ears. They're easy as shit to make and also look cute.

>> No.6689582

This. I like the "accessibility" of them, that you can bend them, dog-ear them, carry them everywhere and give them lots of use that shows that you truly love the book. Hardcovers are only good for cosmetic collections, in my opinion.
