I remember someone telling me that the first thing to do to a paprback is break it's spine to make it easier to read. I also fold corners down.
I think a paperback is sort of disposable...can be recycled...unless it's a chershed gift or signed etc.
DH thinks I am very wrong to do this and he is (imo) ridiculously and annoyingly precious about them. He sits with them open three quarters so he doesn't damage them and all his look new.
AIBU?
No Kindles here. We like books.
