Why dont you just save money and buy hardbacks? Paperbacks are such a hassle to read, you need two hands holding it apart all the time

Paperbacks are more fun. I like their flexibility, I like their disposable nature, I like how banged up the book looks after you're done with it. I can throw a paperback in my backpack, I don't have to worry about leaving coffee stains on it, because ultimately it's a one time ride for us.

If that's your issue, you might as well buy an ereader. But you're a frog poster so your thread is bait by default.

The issue with paperbacks is the middle portion of the book. How do you hold it one hand (assuming it's the standard size) without both sides leaning?

Unless you've got like 2 fingers on each hand and that's why you can't hold them open with one hand I don't see what you're on about.

Massmarket paperbacks are cuter and cheaper. Full sized hardbacks insist upon themselves, and the font is often so large I feel personally insulted. No reason to pay triple the price for an inferior product

I pirate everything but that's led me not to read much poetry as reading it on an e reader just feels wrong.

This.
Plus you can bend and flick the book pages over with a paperback but the unyielding shells of hardbacks make it impossible.

How about you stop being a pussy and just get on with it and read? The ancients never complained about their wrists feeling an ouchie after unrolling all those scrolls.

Not sure what you're talking about. I buy paperbacks because they're less of a hassle to read than hardbacks, and I rarely ever use two hands to hold it apart. Do you have small hands or something?
