    In my experience paperbacks get read more and shared more often because hardcovers tend to be expensive and have a pretty design

      Harder to throw in a bag on your way out. I’m a big fan of e-readers for this reason.

        I feel like digital epub files are just the evolution of paperbacks in means of convenience for reading and sharing

      my comment sure was controversial? and I’m just happy people for passionate about a book, paperback or hardback. I’ll take the hit. I’m more comfortable reading on a ereader that supports the dyslexia font, I’d eat through books if they had that option. I find I like some books more than others and the ones that are meaningful to me become a hunt for the hardback of it. I have a lot more paperbacks of course.
