I prefer Hard Back (they last longer!), but I end up with paperback because its cheaper!

On the whole I prefer hardback for reference books, things I will want to keep forever and refer to over and over agaian, and I prefere paperback for books that I intend to read in the bath or on the train to work. If I have a choice I'll usually go for whichever is cheapest too, so that tends to be paperbacks.


myLot reputation of 76/100. libertarianfreedom21 (981)   ranked 521 out of 9,003 in reading  4 years ago

YEs thats the same with me, well i dont have many referance books, thats more my fiances expertise. I like romance, and i usually sell them after i finish reading so thats why i usually have paperback

I prefer paperbacks because it is easier to handle when on the beach! And, paperbacks are cheaper!


myLot reputation of 76/100. libertarianfreedom21 (981)   ranked 521 out of 9,003 in reading  4 years ago

I wish i could read on the beach, never been to the beach, that would be so awsome

I prefer hardbacks, as many have larger print. I'll only buy a paperback, if its a large print book. I like to save money, but its not a savings, if I can't see the words.


myLot reputation of 76/100. libertarianfreedom21 (981)   ranked 521 out of 9,003 in reading  4 years ago

Yea i like to be able to see the words too.

I am like you, as long as the book is a good one it could be written on toilet roll for all it matters to me! I usually go for the paperback if I can though as they are a lot cheaper!


myLot reputation of 76/100. libertarianfreedom21 (981)   ranked 521 out of 9,003 in reading  4 years ago

yea me too, i like hardback better, but usually have paperback, i could read anything written on anything.

Hardbacks are nicer to read, but I usually buy paperbacks as they're cheaper.

I used to by only Hardcover books. They looked better on the shelf and very often they were not too big so I wasn't holding up a large book. But I read alot of Stephen King and Clive Barker. Their books, especially King, can be huge. It becomes to hard to hold in a comfortable reading position for me. Plus, I live near the beach and do a lot of reading there, so paperbacks are much more convenient. Easier to carry around from place to place.


myLot reputation of 76/100. libertarianfreedom21 (981)   ranked 521 out of 9,003 in reading  4 years ago

yes i bet they are, for me the hardback is easier when you prop it up on a pillow, but then you cant move around, when i lay on my bed to read i switch sides and its easier to read, if i were collecting books for a libary I would probally try to get all hardbacks though

paperbacks for me please as I commute for hours by train and my bag is crammed full with all the things you need when you are absent from home for 14 hours or so and paperbacks dont weigh that much.


myLot reputation of 76/100. libertarianfreedom21 (981)   ranked 521 out of 9,003 in reading  4 years ago

Thats true, the only thing about that is a paperback can get all torn up while your traveling. thnks for the responce

I feel as you do it does not matter as long as it is a good book,thats really all that matters to me..If you have a libary in your home and collect books it is best to have hard backs because they are worth more,but i don;t so it does not matter...


myLot reputation of 76/100. libertarianfreedom21 (981)   ranked 521 out of 9,003 in reading  4 years ago

yea i would want hardbacks if i were collecting books, but after i read one i go and trade it in for another. I do have more than one book on my shelf needing to be read though.

I am the same. I only care about the contents. I only read books once so I am no bothered about the condition they stay in.


myLot reputation of 76/100. libertarianfreedom21 (981)   ranked 521 out of 9,003 in reading  4 years ago

Yes i am the same, the only time i care about the condition is when im buying it and the price, like one time i got this nora roberts book that said new on ebay and it came in the mail all torn up. It made me mad b/c i spent 5 dollars on it when i could of gone to half price books and spent 1$ to 3


myLot reputation of 88/100. Elixiress (3020)   ranked 689 out of 9,003 in reading  4 years ago

I agree. As long as books are readable and not in gross condition (covered in food etc) then I am happy. However I would not like to pay for what I thought was a new book and it turns out to be completely unreadable.


myLot reputation of 76/100. libertarianfreedom21 (981)   ranked 521 out of 9,003 in reading  4 years ago

yea i was so POed, I left a nasty feedback, and will never buy books on Ebay again. I can get them at the book store for the same price.


myLot reputation of 88/100. Elixiress (3020)   ranked 689 out of 9,003 in reading  4 years ago

Don't let one person like that put you off ebay. I am selling some books if you are interested, not on ebay though. Obviously it is your choice, but pm me if you are interested.


myLot reputation of 76/100. libertarianfreedom21 (981)   ranked 521 out of 9,003 in reading  4 years ago

well actually im low on cash right now, but when i start babysitting, or at the end of this month when we get paid by mylot i maybe interisted, depends on what type of books, im going to go ahead and add you as a friend


myLot reputation of 88/100. Elixiress (3020)   ranked 689 out of 9,003 in reading  4 years ago

Okay, I have accepted the friend request =D

Most of them are old books, but a couple are new.


myLot reputation of 76/100. libertarianfreedom21 (981)   ranked 521 out of 9,003 in reading  4 years ago

Thats cool, what type of books are they, romance, mystery, horror, or what?


myLot reputation of 88/100. Elixiress (3020)   ranked 689 out of 9,003 in reading  4 years ago
