I like my hardcovers, they stay newer looking longer... but I wrap most of my books anyway

if i've extra money to burn than its hardcover. If not soft cover will still do. Ultimately, whichever one that have a better artcover

Noticed most people opt for softcover coz it's cheaper...but what if they are priced the same? Which would you go for? Because i know countries outside Malaysia sells both soft/hardcover at roughly the same price. With maybe RM2~5 difference.

I would still go for softcover...can fit nicely on my book shelf and it's light. Tried holding a 1kg book for 3 hours and it's no longer fun reading...

Hardcover for my favourite books!

I prefer softcover, easier to handle.

cheers,

hardcover. it makes me feel macho.

Hardcover for title i cant wait to read.

softcover...cheap

Hard cover FTW!..soft covers for calefare releases hahahaha~

softcover/paperback, easier to bring around and cheaper, i take really good care of my paperbacks, but i do have some hardcovers like the harry potter series

Same here.

Agreed!

Hm, tough choice. Soft cover is cheaper, hard covers will cost an arm and leg most of the time. But with hard covers, you can open the book as wide as you want without fear of creases to the spine (I hate that when it happens to my soft cover books, the reason why I usually don't let anyone touch them). In the end, I prefer soft cover since I'm pretty kedekut wan... But I'll go for hard cover if the book is really special/cheap for a hard cover/some one 'sponsor' me.

Softcover, paperback, cheaper, smaller in size, lighter, and smell better.

i go for the paperback as it's lighter and easier to carry i too, took care of my books very well and if someone lends it i would always advise them to take extra care of my books i only buy hardcovers for books which are meant for long term referencing like my design books
