For August 8, hardcover, softcover, digital? What is your preference?<\/p>\n

Aser<\/strong> – I love hardcover books, the fact that I can’t read them notwithstanding. There is a permanence about them, a solidity and substance. Seeing them on a shelf all lined up, being able to take them down and thumb through them, they are an embodiment of all the stories that they’ve been used to tell and all the potential tales they can be used to weave when someone decides to take them down again.
\nJohn D.\u00a0<\/strong>–\u00a0I am reluctantly adopting PDFs due to cost and ease of travel but nothing beats softcover in my opinion.
\nLandan<\/strong> – Hardcover. I do like digital as well but I can find what I need usually quicker in a physical book.
\nMegan<\/strong> – I like hardcovers. I keep PDFs open for quick searching, but I like being able to have the books open around me.
\nMike G.<\/strong> –\u00a0I prefer digital for most of my books, but hardcover for those I use the most.
\nPatrick<\/strong> – Hardcover. I always prefer physical media despite having to move my collection too many times.
\nPhil<\/strong> – Hardcover, then softcover. I like my RPGs on dead trees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
