Reading on the Android Kindle app is handy, especially for mid-lecture boredom and instant gratification (*click* - aand I have a book), but paperbacks are where it's at for cosy, snuggled-up reading comfort.

Hard backs are more durable and feel more oroginal to me. I don't like my e-reader cause there is no e-library and you don't get that old/new book smell and the feel of the weight of the book or texture or the excitement of turning a page or knowing a page is a WHOLE PAGE ( sometimes nooks re-format so you read 2 e-pages for one regular page).
Hard cover followed by paper, I guess leather after that though I'm not really framilier with what that is...I prefer the authors oroginal formatting best =D

Paperback books are great and all, and so are ebooks. Leatherbound books.. Hey, whatever floats you boat.
I guess it depends on the genre, but for me lying with my eyes closed listening to an audiobook feels like actually sitting with the person telling the story. It makes things much more real.
Also, there are books that are boring on paper, but in audio they sound amazing, and I think they get overlooked because they're the kind of books you have to slow down and listen to the voice of the character rather than reading in lines and paragraphs.
Audiobooks are underappreciated (and overpriced >.< )
Well I put leather bound, but I cannot afford them in the slightest and have never actually bought any myself... but I've read one before and I liked it because I was able to pretend I was posh for a week, which satisfied and amused me greatly
I like hardback books as well, but again, expensive. As a result the majority of my books are paperback and while I do have a kindle, I easily prefer the real thing. The real thing smells nicer.
I love reading on my kindle it is addicting. Kindles die to often or get lost but hardback just pops out to me.I have always gotten a hardback book for Christmas, so i went with hardback i love them almost more then i love my favorite pet wormy .
I prefer paperback, although some of my favorite books are in hardcover, such as, Kidnapped . But, most of Erin Hunter's books are in paperback, except for the special edition ones. Erin Hunter is truly an inspiring author. After reading some of Warriors The New Prophecy, Dawn, I got the idea to write a story about Foxkit,an orange-brown kitten resembling a fox with a black muzzle and paws, and a white tipped tail. I encourage you to read some of her books. They are packed with action,mystery,and much more.

Yes, I know I need a signature.

I also recommend J.R.R. Tolkien. The Hobbit is a fascinating book, but it tells you about The Battle of the Five Armies when the eagles dropped them off.

Most of my books are paperback (cheaper). Hardback reminds me too much of textbooks. But I love leather bound; they feel so elegant and so ancient at the same time. I've always liked old-fashioned things.
