I saw a video by Daniel Greene, where he says that paperbacks are actually more durable than paperbacks, and he swears that paperbacks are the way to go. What do you guys think? I’ve seen that the general consensus is that hardbacks are more durable, but after watching Daniel throw and stab both a paperback and a hardback, and watching the paperback stay mostly readable, I’m no longer sure. What do you guys think?

Thanks! :)

Edit: forgot to mention that after the abuse, the hardback fell apart, like entire pages fell from the spine but the paperback remained mostly ok, although very beat up, but perfectly readable.

    I’ve never torture tested a book and don’t plan to in the future.

    Collectible type books I prefer Hardcover. Books that I don’t plan to keep I get in paperback.

    The hardcover books sit on a shelf until I want reference them again. Still not abusing the book.

    I don’t think torture testing a book provides any valuable information.
