American paperbacks are really good, no spine, fold in half, absolutely no resistance whatsoever. English paperbacks are like little bricks.
I've got a few US paperbacks from a second hand bookstore I used to go to a lot and they're just so nice. I don't know why UK paperbacks are so rigid, I can only guess the binding might be stronger in the UK ones which is good I suppose but the flippy floppyness of the US ones is just so fun.
