I usually buy pocket (mass market) paperbacks, because they are cheaper than hardcovers, and UK versions instead of US versions because they generally have prettier covers. Only if I love an author's books very much do I upgrade that author to "want hardcover now" (as I recently did with Robin Hobb).
Concerning Hobb's books, I have Assassin's Apprentice up to Renegade's Magic in UK paperback and Dragon Keeper in hardcover.
Megan Lindholm books are all in UK paperback: Harpy's Flight, The Windsingers, Luck of the Wheels, (but NOT The Limbreth Gate, which is unavailable) The Reindeer People, Wolf's Brother. And The Gypsy I have in the ORB trade paperback reissue edition.
