Lol! I like hardbacks better though. I hate it when the cover of paperback bends.

Ruby Rose | 10 comments HARDCOVER. I work with my horse like 6 days a week and so it helps to have something that is hardier.

Physical books are definitely good and have that lovely smell and you don't need to charge them, but one of the reasons I basically only read ebooks right now is because I travel and don't have libraries around that a) are open or b) have english content; and I can't find good ways to buy books. Besides, I have a library card for my hometown library and they have a wonderful selection of both ebooks and real books.

Teri I’m reading a hardcover and I love the experience with the story but not the physical book 🥲 it’s so heavy and I have weak nerd arms 😔

Same!


message 30: by Allie (new)

Allie Paperbacks because you can bend the cover to hold on one hand and it is not as heavy.

I now realize how much I love the older style hard covers. The like, boxy ones. Like The Things They Carried
