Feature and Follow #17


Feature and Follow is, as always, hosted by the awesome blogs, Parajunkee and Alison Can Read

This Week's Question: What is your preferred reading format? Hardcover, eBooks, paperback etc? 





My preferred reading format is definitely hardcover. For one, I think they are the prettiest. Secondly, it is easier to flip through them than ebooks and their spines don't break like paperbacks. And thirdly, a book usually comes out in hardback before paperback, so highly anticipated releases in a series will be out in hardback and I will have to buy them!

Most of my hauls these days consist of hardbacks anyway!



So, what is your preferred format?

  1. I agree. They're so much more durable. But they're sometimes a bit heavy, but that's because they carry whole worlds inside then :)

  5. Hardcovers really do look pretty on the shelf, but I prefer paperbacks myself, because they aren't as heavy as hardcovers. Also, UK editions often get released in paperbacks first, so I don't have to wait longer for that. Thank goodness!

  13. I prefer hardcovers because I get so annoyed when a paperback comes in the mail dented. Even the smallest dent bothers me so much and I love how hardcovers are harder to damage. Old follower :)

  15. Hardcovers do look nice but I just don't have the space. I love my eBooks and how easy it is to carry them all with me in one neat little package.

  16. I love hardcovers, even though they're heavy in the hand they look a lot nicer on the shelf and are definitely more durable. Paperbacks and eReaders wont last forever! New GFC Follower :)

  17. I wish I could afford the hardbacks as the come out. Yet at $20-$30 each, that is a lot of money for even 1 book some months. Usually I just get hardbacks of favorite authors, series to save on cost and space. But I do love hardbacks.
