I would have said an ereader, but have been very fed up with the cost of buying 'digital' books. Paperback is now winnng.

Hardbacks are too big and heavy to hold up on a pool lounger smile

All about the paperback. A personal peeve of mine that paperback is usually 6-9 months after publication.

Paperbacks, because I mainly read in bed and find them much more managable to hold when tucked up.

I do preferr hardbacks myself, even though when I read, I do it everywhere I can and any 5min opportunity.

The trouble with paperbacks is they get so tatty really quickly.
Wheras hardbacks don't.

But with a hardback I can take the cover off and give the outward illusion of reading some snooty interlectual book lol

Not being able to spell intellectual sort of gives the game away though... wink

I'll read anything, but paperbacks usually cos of the cost of hardbacks.
