Understandable. My issue with mass markets is that they're usually printed with very little gutter (if that's the right word) so I have to break the spine to read the lines fully, which is an issue I don't usually have with trade paperbacks.

Haha but also I do want to emphasize I'm not trying to judge people for it!

I found this less of an issue with the method outlined; since you’re essentially breaking the spine invisibly. But this is definitely more of an issue with mass markets, and I get why it would be frustrating.

And from the same perspective; I get why you don’t like them. I adore them; but that’s a side effect of how I read; they make reading easier for me but harder for you. No judgement here, either!
