... In that case I would.

Normally I prefer paperback novels to hardcover though.

I wouldn't buy the book in softcover for that price, but if I owned 4 books out of 5 in a series, and all of the books I had were softcover, I'd rather not buy the book at all until I can find it comparatively cheap in softcover. I definitely wouldn't buy the hardcover at any price if it fucks up the uniformity of the set.

I actually used to have that problem a few times in the past (especially pre-Amazon). Because it's usually easier to buy older books in a given set in paperback than it is hardcover, I'd have to skip over books I saw as new release hardcovers, or even if I saw them extra cheap on clearance in Barnes & Noble, because I either already owned prior books in paperback, or knew that I'd have to buy paperback books to complete a set.

Pretty much this. That is weird pricing.

Indeed. Normally prices are hardcover > paperback > mass market paperback, right? I first thought the paperback prices were outliers from one vendor charging 5-8x the normal price but several others are doing the same. What is the title of this book by chance?

That looks like something where only the hardback is available in your country. The paperback is probably another region being sold by someone other than Amazon.
