  Hardcover or softcover? Decisions, decisions.  
 
 
An important choice that self-published authors need to make is whether they’ll go with a hardcover or softcover book. They both have their benefits — so which is right for you?
 
Hardcover
 
Longevity
Hardcover books typically last longer than paperbacks. Stronger bindings and more-durable paper help increase their lifespan.

Quality Imagery
Collectors and reading enthusiasts often prefer the quality of hardcover books.

Better Profits
Those who prefer hardcovers are typically willing to pay a premium.
Softcover
 
Convenience
Paperback books are flexible, lightweight, and easily packable.


Shipping Costs
Lighter-weight books are easier and cheaper to ship.

Affordability
Paperbacks cost less than hardcovers to print, so you need less funding to get your book on shelves.
