I do 90% of my reading at 2 a.m. by flashlight. I don’t do electronic “books”. I don’t do library books because of library cooties. I don’t do hardbacks because they are too expensive to actually buy and they are not comfortable to read, fall asleep on top of or take with. So the short answer is: Paperbacks. (but not trade paperbacks)
mostly paperbacks. I get my books at flea markets or on Amazon for basically a penny. I pay very little for books. I return the old books for credit and get new books with the credit. .-= Jon´s last blog ..The senior citizenship test =-.
I love the feel of a book and the smell of a book, but the older I get the less my eyes like the look of a book, and so I now have the (free) Kindle app for the iTouch and do most of my reading on that. The ease on the eyes has let me about double my reading since I got the thing. .-= Bev´s last blog ..Painting the Town Red =-.
I generally prefer paperback as they are easier to manage. However, if I have been anxiously awaiting a new release, I can’t always wait until the paperback comes out…I MUST have it NOW, even if that means spending a bit more for the hardcover edition. .-= Nicole´s last blog ..We throw away things that people kill each other over =-.

I prefer to read in bed, so a hardcover is too unwieldly. So my vote is a new paperback.
For the sake of my hands, paperbacks.

Papperback. Falling asleep with a hardback is painful.
