I like hardcover but I always buy paperback because it is cheaper.
Hardcover books are so much more durable.

Mass-Market Paperback.
Mostly because they’re easier to carry around with me, and my book shelves have this weird set up, where two of the middle shelves can’t move, so I can’t arrange the shelves so they’re all big enough to hold hardcovers, which just gets annoying.

hardcover and sometimes audio-books
idk what mass-market paperback is though….
well the reason i like audio-books are because sometimes, the books just come alive when you listen to them, then when you read the books you have a voice in your head to match …
and idk why i like hardcovers, but i like them more than paperbacks for some reason…

Hardback if it’s worth keeping. If I decide I don’t like it, I donate it to the public library which will add it to the collection.
Paperbacks for traveling because they’re space savers. I buy certain authors only in paperback because I can pass them on to friends or donate to the library’s bookstore. Small investment for one-time reading.
If by Media Tie-In you mean the book is published after the movie, no. Before, yes, but I won’t see the film.
I have no desire to strain my eyes on an eBook. I do that enough during my own writing, personal business, & Y!A on the computer.
My mind drifts too much during audio books. I dislike the abridged versions.
