Whilst reading do you prefer dust covers on books or off?
^^ what do you think? 
For me I prefer them off because the paper type covers always seem to slide around

Always off. The books underneath are always so much nicer.

For my bookshelves dust covers look very nice on books, but when I am reading, it is almost off!
Off for sure! Those things are always sliding off the book otherwise or getting caught up in something or making me feel too cautious when I'm reading my book or.....

Off! If they're on, it doesn't feel like MY book, it just feels like A book. Also, for hardbacks, the cover under the dust jacket is generally really nice. However, after I finish reading, I put the dust jacket back on to protect the book.
Its cool you put the dust jacket back on
I rarely put them back on mine

For sure! The slidey thing with the dust jacket I think is one of the more annoying things to be fair.(especially when the dust jacket is on a big book, like the Half blood prince by jk rowling)

I tend to keep them until I get around halfway through a book, then put the cover to one side

A drawer is one of the worst places to keep dust covers! they have to be around the books. Otherwise they are a waste. :yup:

indeed they are
nowadays I tend to get paperbacks (hardbacks seem to be more expensive I find) which don't have a dust cover to annoy me with
I think it depends on the size of the book often, but I will usually take them off to prevent damage
