I accept that the market forces change and it certainly didn't happen all at once. I just recently read the novel "Heat 2", a sequel in book form to the 1995 film and I had a good time with that. But the format might as well be a trade paperback as it is taller than a typical mass market but not as wide as a regular trade. These days I call the left one a mass markets even though it really isnt.
What's replaced the mass market is the ebook. I appreciate the convenience but it reminds me more and more that we're not really owning the product. We're shifting towards a market that supports try everything and then curate your personal collection.
I also miss the days when we had actual art for the cover. Such as this one
All this is to say read however you want and fill your shelves with whatever makes it look cool.
