I've bought a few Paizo APs now (all softcover), because they're just in that price range that I can afford to invest in a gaming product that isn't a core book. I know that HotDQ has more content than the Paizo APs but I think that's part of the problem as well. I don't know that I want to invest in that much of an adventure path straight away. There's always the risk that it's going to be a stinker, which means that I've wasted that much more of my money (I think HotDQ is about/almost double the price of the Paizo APs).With regards to the hardcover durability thing, for me, that isn't an issue. Sure, a paperback is going to get scuffed up over time, the cover might get bent and even a bit torn, but that doesn't stop it from being usable does it? Even if I do end up wanting to reuse the AP, the fact that its cover is a bit damaged or its spine bent doesn't affect the contents to the point where I can't use it anymore. I see gaming books as something to be used, not something to get precious over (I have my collection of comics for that <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />), so it doesn't bother me if the book I'm using gets a bit battered. I don't even thing there's that much difference between the amount of damage a hardback and a paperback will see to be honest. All IMHO of course!I've bought most of the novels I've read second hand from charity shops so I'm pretty used to having a nicely worn-in book, rather than a pristine thing.</blockquote>
