Do you read hardcovers with the dust jacket on or off? Why or why not? submitted by (submitted by Maria @ A Night's Dream of Books)First of all, I prefer not to read hardcovers at all because they are big, bulky, and often a little bit heavy. That being said, I sometimes win hardcover copies of books on Goodreads so I'm left with no choice but to read them that way. In those instances, I read my hardcovers naked. Can't stand having the dust jacket on my books while I'm reading because I feel like they're constantly getting in the way or getting caught on things, and I just spend so much time adjusting them on the book itself that I do less reading, so I just ditch them before I even open the book. I keep them to put back on the book after I'm finished reading it, but while I'm reading, the dust jacket is gone.

Hardcovers can be soooo bulky. But I love it when I find a nice slim and small little volume. I think hardcovers are just so pretty. I'm the same way too, dusk jackets are too distracting!

I think reading with the dust jacket off is just easier. It's less hassle and there's no worry about ruining the cover! :D have a great weekend Katie!

I take the dust jacket off too.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to ruin it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on dust jacket on or off.
I feel the same way. I also take the dust jacket off so that way the books wouldn't be sliding constantly whenever I'm reading.

I leave them on. They don't really bother me.
ReplyDeleteYeay! Another non-hardcover fan! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not really a fan of hardcovers either, I only have a few. But I have always kept the dust jackets on, they have never bothered me.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I prefer not to read hardcover books nowadays because of how big,and bulky they are to read, and how much shelf space they take. I still love hardcopy books, but I do so love my kindle, with its massive library at the touch of my fingers.

I keep the dust jacket on. They don't bother me. I will also use the flap as a bookmark.
