Honestly I prefer my Kindle but I have been reading a lot off of my shelf lately instead of spending money and I I would say I prefer the smaller paperbacks for ease of holding but the larger books for my eyes because I get migraines easily.

In terms of book size, I prefer mass market paperbacks over trade paperbacks and the main reasons are 1) most romance books are in mmpb and I like my books to match and 2) mmpb are cheaper to buy.<br /><br />2. Although we do have some Black Friday sales in Canada (definitely influenced by the US), I didn't do any shopping because I was really busy during that time.winniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572247688497515974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-44321748882070199842012-11-28T20:12:06.102-06:002012-11-28T20:12:06.102-06:00I prefer the mass market books for most of my book...I prefer the mass market books for most of my books.

And, I have no problem slipping them into the side of my purse. They are less bulky.<br /><br />As far as Black Friday, sadly, I am stuck at home recuperating from surgery. No shopping for me. But, no spending money either. <br /><br />lkish77123 at gmail dot com Linda Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691270187098793014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-10663452003324298172012-11-25T18:13:29.883-06:002012-11-25T18:13:29.883-06:00The more pages to the book, the bigger the book be...The more pages to the book, the bigger the book because I find it easier to hold (small ones are thick for my hands to hold for a good hour-long read). <br /><br />This Black Friday we actually braved the world and went to dinner and a movie.

I've just finished reading the first 5 books in the series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE by George RR Martin. They were all at least 1000 pages. <br /><br /><br />2. There is no Black Friday shopping in Australia. Our equivalent would be the Boxing Day sales. Madness!!

Margaret asks: Do you prefer a large paperback or a small paperback??<br /><br />I prefer trade sizes paperback - although the mass market ones are so small that they fit better in a purse or something, these smaller ones that I prefer are those of Sookie Stackhouse series, the rest I do prefer the bigger ones, especially because of the spacing between the letters ^^<br /><br />And regarding the length, I prefer those trade market sized with about 300 - 350 pages - the longer books with small letters make me cringe, lol, but if the story is cool, of course I'll read a bigger book =]<br /><br />Now I am reading the Brazilian edition of The Scorpio Races, which has 377 pages, but since the chapters are short, and the letters are not small and the story is awesome, I am reading it very fast ^^<br /><br />Ana Death Duartehttp://www.icultgen.com.brnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-59945824702586231632012-11-25T08:23:47.617-06:002012-11-25T08:23:47.617-06:001.
