"Hardback... They just last longer than paperback ones and the spine doesn't get ruined on them." - yes it does, you just can't see it.

Hardback, of course! Makes it easier to throw at people.

I'm stuck between paperback and Pat on this one...

So far I've had a pretty solid Pat-based voting history, but paperbacks have been kind to me over the years. Unlike Pat.

Pat Buchanan all the way!!! WOO WOO!!! Yeah I voted Pat but i prefer hardcover. My friend likes it too, I know this not because I 'm physic but because I have way too many bumps on my head to know. I would prefer she whack me with soft cover but hey, life's not always fair.

Originally, I preferred paperback for the mobility. They fit into the smallest places in your backpack at school. They sit snug in your purse amongst your other things like keys and makeup. Portability is definitely high on my list.

Paperbacks also, to me, are quite charming! Hardcover always seems so foreboding. It's like you can only read them with the utmost care. A paperback book is like an old friend. You can take it with you tucked away and secret. A special secret only you and your book have.

Your bag would have to be awfully big to fit a hardcover into it!
Write from the heart and nothing can go wrong. It's when you write from the wallet that the feeling goes away.

Paperback. They're lighter and easier to carry around, plus I don't feel as bad if I break them. E-books are nice, but not nearly as portable.

It has to be Hardback only because paper backs don't have enough punch to knock out a noisy person in one hit.

Hardbacks cost more than paperbacks? =O I never knew...

Anyway, I buy hardbacks. I just find them a lot easier to read. And if I find that if people's E-books are a big enough sucess that the stories just get published anyway. ;)

Paperback is good, but hardback lasts forever and gives you the felling of holding something nice and important!

If you look up Pat Buchanan on wikipedia you get some old political candidate. I think he's some comic strip super hero, though. Either that, or that's the impression someone else got from taking the polls to seriously. lol. I got that definition of the all too famous Pat Buchanan after two months of asking around the site. XD
