Hardcover if I love it and want to keep it forever like LOTR - Tolkien
Paperback for all other books.

Paperbacks on the other hand are cheaper (often much cheaper in the case of mass markets) and unlike hardcovers, look better with a little wear to them. They’re also more comfortable. On the downside, you’re gonna have to wait a little while after the book release to get a paperback because they normally start selling exclusively hardcovers. And this is more of a personal gripe, but it really bothers me how when you close a paperback after reading it for a while the cover sort of sticks out and doesn’t fully close. That might just be me though.

For me to own, soft covers. Like most say they are just more portable and lighter.

I prefer hardcover books to paperback books. I am not exactly sure why I prefer hardcover books over the paperback books, but I think that I prefer the hardcover over paperback(s) because the hardcover books seem sturdier, and possibly withstand time better than paperback books. Paperback books appear flimsy, and easily damaged. I also tend to prefer books instead of digital versions of books. I like the hard copy- I enjoy the feel of books, and I want to have an actual copy on the bookshelf.
