I've tried to like them, but I can't. Here's why-
They are expensive - twice what mass market paperbacks cost.
They don't fit on paperback shelves - had them made to shelve more books
They stick together.
They won't stay open unless you break the spine which means they fall apart faster and have to be replaced.
They are expensive.
They fall out of your lap.
They don't fit in a reasonable sized purse (short person here.)
They are expensive.
Print rarely bigger than in mass market, though margins are. I have my own stack of blank white paper.
Did I mention that they are expensive?
I try to never buy them even if I want the book. I got along without the book before, I can do it now. Sigh.
NOTE:
HarperCollins website has a survey going that asks if you'd mind if they raised their prices. Just thought you'd want to know.
