/thread. I own a few hardcovers such as my illustrated copy of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy that was gifted to me by my Girlfriend's Dad, but as much as I love the copy I have to sit at a table to read it or sit up in bed with it on my lap and its really cumbersome. I like to read in bed, often aloud to my gf so she can fall asleep to my voice, and I usually then read silently until I fall asleep and the book lays on my chest or face until I awaken or it falls in the night. Can't be doing that with those cumbersome solid hardbacks, I love a paperback and my favourite kind are the really small pocket sized ones that I can carry everywhere with me.
