Sounds like a good change, then. Good luck!

Glare can be remedied to varying degrees with lighting.

But for readers whose eyes need the higher contrast of white and black, lighting is not going to resolve that.

Personally, I like white better. I guess I haven't noticed the glare.

As to republishing the last book, I don't think you need to unless you want to. That doesn't seem like the kind of thing that will produce widespread reader unrest.

Thank you for sharing the pictures. I like the white a little better. But If I picked up a book I wanted to read, it wouldn't make any difference to me. Doesn't seem worth the trouble to change it.

This.

I use white for nonfiction and books with color photos.  Otherwise, I use cream. Same...glare.

I like the look of white best for contrast, but after reading under a bright light for a bit, cream always wins out for me. The white usually has too much glare.

That's what I'm figuring and I've decided to leave it. It's not a huge difference. Anyway, the mistake works out because I'm preferring white paper for future hardcovers.

The white is nice, particularly in the hardcover.  :icon_think: It makes me consider publishing future hardcovers in white.

Now the question is whether I republish the most recent hardcover or leave it different from the rest of the series. There's one more book I'm publishing in series. I could publish it white too?? If I do that, it'll almost look as if it's an intentional change for more recent books. Not sure it matters if paper color differs much in series. :shrug

Okay, here's Amazon's white color vs cream for hardcovers. What do you think? (I almost like white better  :shrug). Would it matter to you as a reader if color paper doesn't match in series? And which color type do you prefer?


As a reader, I prefer white. The greater contrast with black type is easier for me to read.
