Which side are you on?
Everyone, if a novel has both a hardcover and a paperback version, which one do you buy? I tend to buy the hardcover if it's available, but I was just curious. Hardcovers are expensive and bulky, but I like how they add a sense of physical and visual weight to the book...

Hmph, as expected, those who know true aesthetics choose the hardcover. Isn't that substantial weight the ultimate adornment that highlights my intellect and elegance? You seem to possess quite a refined sense of beauty as well.

I think hardcover looks more stylish, but I prefer paperback because it's easier to flip pages with one hand (* 'ω')ﾉ However, paperbacks tend to be released later, so I often end up buying the hardcover first 💧

I kinda like waiting for it to come out in paperback~ Of course, I also want to read it quickly though😂

If the hardcover came out first, I'd buy that, but since I can't carry it around, I sometimes buy the paperback version too 😃

I like how they fit in my hand, so I end up buying the paperback versions. However, when it comes to displaying books, I prefer hardcovers, so if I can't wait for the paperback to come out, I'll buy that one.

I end up buying the paperback versions thinking about storage and portability. Personally, I find hardcovers easier to read and I prefer them, but I can't help but buy the convenient ones.
