hardback or paperback?
I absolutely prefer paperback - lighter, handier, cheaper :P
Amazon or bookshop?
both, it really depends. but I'm a HUGE fan of Amazon in any case!!!
bookmark or dog-ear?
again: depends! to mark where I stopped reading I always use bookmarks, but to mark certain pages or passages I liked I sometimes make dog-ears if I don't have a pen handy
keep, throw away or sell?
depends, hehe :) if I liked it I'll keep it of course. otherwise I'd try selling I guess
keep bookjacket or throw it away?
keep it - why would anyone throw it away???
read with bookjacket or without?
with, and use it as a bookmark :)
short story or novel?
well, poetry if I have the choice!!!
Harry Potter or Lemony Snicket?
um, who? O_O
stop reading when you're tired or after finishing a chapter?
after finishing a chapter - you can't just stop anywhere, can you!
“the night was cold and stormy” or “once upoan a time”?
once upon a time ^^
buy or borrow?
hehe, it depends :D I borrow books quite often
new or used?
both! there's an awesome 2nd-hand bookstore here in Augsburg that I'm totally addicted to, they got amazing stuff and it's realllllly cheap too
deciding what you buy: bestseller list, reviews, recommendations...?
um, mostly recommendations and reviews I'd say...
closed end or Cliffhanger?
it always depends on how it's written. if it's good, I'll like it ;D

basically always!
