Hardback or Paperback?

Do you prefer hardback or paperback editions... or... dare I utter the word... epubs? I have a slight obsession with hardback editions. I'm known to get mildly stressed when a new book comes out that I really want and it is only published in paperback... I'm known to happily pay more for a hardback when a paperback is easily available. Does anyone else have this malady...

… or should I just check myself in for therapy?

If I could afford them, I would always buy hardbacks. I definitely prefer them. They just feel more special. I have no e-reader and probably never will have. It just is not the same to me.
