Paperback VS Hardcover
(I used Throne Of Glass as an example picture for you, the pics are not mine, they are from google)
Hardcover< ---------->paperback
So i've seen this subject floating around for a while.We are all different kinds of readers and we all have opinions on things that has to do with reading. I thought i would share my opinion on the whole paperback vs hardcover subject. For me it depends on the book. I prefer hardcovers because they are very often more beautiful and is easier to read without worrying that the spine will break. Although there are some paperbacks that i find really beautiful , even better than the actual hardcover, like throne of glass above for example. I think there are both pro's and con's with both of the alternatives. I am a book collector , so i like my books to look pretty on the shelf. Hardcovers are often really beautiful and then the paperback edition is just a less beautiful copy of the original hardcover. The good thing about paperbacks though is that you can get 3 paperbacks for the same price as 1 hardcover book, so when i don't have so much money ( since i'm still a student i'm not exactly rich) i prefer to buy the paperbacks. Paperbacks are also really easy to hold while reading, even though you have a bigger risk of breaking the spine of a paperback than a hardcover.Hardcovers , big books in particular , can be really hard to read. Also if you want to take your book with you somewhere it's easier to take a paperback with you. The bad thing about a paperback is that you have to be much more careful with it since it's basically only paper, meanwhile a hardcover book is not so easy to destroy. Really what i want to say with this post is that there are good and bad things about both of the options. I still prefer hardcovers but that doesn't mean i don't buy paperbacks, because i do. I would like you to comment your opinion below. It would be fun to know what you think of this subject.
