I used to enjoy reading books online through an application. However, we all know the long-term consequence of doing so. Lately, I've been getting into physical books, and I honestly don't mind if they're soft or hard cover. Generally, I would probably prefer soft cover since they're a lot more easier to bend, and hard cover feels mostly like a textbook. That's just my general opinion though, but I'm fine if I had to use a hard cover. I would probably say that I definitely prefer physical books more than electronic ones, nowadays.
