This week's question:
What is your preferred reading format? Hardcover, eBook, Paperback, etc.?
Well, my favourite would definitely be hardcover. Nothing like holding a big heavy book. But it's the most expensive out of the three options, and I'd rather have a lot of ebooks and paperbacks than a few hardcovers. So the more convenient option is usually paperbacks, even though ebooks are cheaper. I prefer a physical copy.
Which do you prefer? Let me know!
I love hardcovers. They're the best :)

Hardcovers ftw! They're definitely heavier and more expensive, but I just like how sturdy they feel. I feel like paperbacks are too easily bent or destroyed and ebooks are just.. not real? :P
For me, the reading format doesn't necessarily matter. As long as I have a book! I don't about you, but when I read a hardcover I feel really important though. You know what I mean? There's nothing better than reading a book you take pride in!(:

I don't think I really have one, but eBooks are so convenient. If I really love a book and read it as an eBook, I usually want to buy a hard copy of it, too. I don't think I care if it's hard or paperback though!

eBooks are so easy & cheap, but there is nothing like a beautiful hardcover novel!!

Happy Friday! I prefer reading paperbacks. I love the feel
of real pages in my hand. I read eBooks sometimes, though. They're always
faster to finish and you can easily highlight the passages you like.

I never bought hardbacks before blogging because it wasn't practical as they were incredibly expensive but now I prefer hardbacks over paperback because I don't have to worry about bending the spine :P
Exactly, I always assume ebooks are too... imaginary, you know? I have a shelf full of hardcovers and it's like my baby :D
Yeah, I totally agree. It feels like an important book. That's why I like to take pics of them.
Hardbacks ftw! Of course, I totally understand what you mean about it being cheaper and less convenient. But my bookish brain is never quite that logical. I usually go "Oooh pretty and big! BUY!" Go me.
I definitely prefer physical books, whether it's hardcover or paperback. I just really enjoy reading the physical pages. I really like audiobooks, but often when listening to them I get frustrated because I want to see the actual words on paper (I have this thing about needing to see how things are spelled, etc.).
I prefer a physical book as well - particularly HC. I love the feel and smell of a physical book. That said, I read lots and lots of ebooks. They're convenient and I can enlarge the font! ;)

I could really go either way (any way? lol). I love ebooks because they're so convenient to carry around (1 device with 100s of books!), but I love getting physical copies of books I love. I usually buy paperbacks because they're more affordable, but I definitely don't mind hardcovers either, especially if it's a new book I've been looking forward to.

I usually prefer Hardcover or paperback. I love my Kindle though too! Hard choice! Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Hardbacks. Definitely. But, like you said, too expensive. I have so many paperbacks... although lately I've been reading lots of e-books because I'm rarely home and when I'm away, I tend to get careless with books. One time I dropped my paperback copy of Vampire Academy in a puddle of mud and cried (I bought a new one, of course, but it was the book that hooked me on reading in the first place).
Hardcovers are lovely :)

I love a physical copy of a book too, although my Kindle has made it easy to get copies. Happy Friday! New bloglovin follower.

Ouch! I practically cringed with the puddle of mud thing. That sucks! But yeah, when I take my books while traveling and stuff like that, they end up all ruined. Not cool. Ebooks are uncomfortable for me because I read them on either the iPad or my laptop and both are very uncomfortable.
I have never tried audiobooks, I think they would be too confusing for me! And yeah, I totally agree, I would feel the need to see the actual words. If there's a name I can't hear well, I might go bananas :P
Very sound answer. I like it. :)
Here is my FF.
You are so right!! Hardcovers are more expensive.

ebooks have amazing deals. I wonder if they'll eventually put paperbacks out of business :( Thanks for stopping by my FF. Following you on bloglovin

Hopping through. There's definitely nothing like the look of a hardcover, but alas the cost...
