paperbacks are more portable and usually lighter. Good for traveling.

Hardcover is just way too hard to read in the bathtub, and too expensive if one happens to drop it. Heck, even trade paperback is too expensive.

It depends on the book/author/series...but hardcover looks better on the shelf and lasts longer. But some books aren't available in hardcover...or then you get authors who started being published in paperback and get "so successful" they switch to initially publishing in hardcover. THAT is annoying.

I have a shortlist of authors, mostly friends and friendly acquaintances, whose books I will buy in hardcover. Because they are my friends.
