Quote:
hardcover books are more durable

Durability lies with factors such as signature collation and binding methods, not in covering. Hardbacks are generally more durable (e.g. edition-binding) for the same reasons that magazines (e.g. saddle-stitch) are less durable: attaning the right balance between the unit's consumption span and publishers' keeping in the black.
I'm a softback man, and vastly. I like to fold back, reverse, over and under; and I do a lot of writing on books, so paperback stock grades are much more convenient than your expensive hardback fare with six billion different shiny finishes.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
