Answer A Question: Paperback or Hardback?

I usually prefer hardback since I feel like they hold up better. It's really easy to bend the cover of a paperback. That being said, I feel like oftentimes they don't make the covers of the hardback as pretty, unless it's the dust jacket, which I feel like is too easy to rip or lose. Also, paperbacks as a general rule are cheaper. So maybe I don't have a preference? I don't know. There are pros and cons to both. Which do you prefer? Comment below!
