> Hardcovers are just not like this at all .... you'd be hard pressed to find one person on Earth who would say that they provide a superior experience over a paperback

I like hardcovers better than paperbacks. They are easier to read, larger usually, they stay open with less force, they don't break as easily.

The printing is higher quality, the paper is brighter.

There is a thing called (I think) a trade paperback which is a hardcover quality book with a paper cover.
