To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't miss MMPBs one bit. I pulled one off the shelf the other day and couldn't believe how tiny the font sizes were, and how cramped the pages were. It was like there was more ink than whitespace on a page. There's no way could I read something like that these days. They may be more expensive, but I find trade paperbacks infinitely more readable. If not for ebooks, I'd be seeking out the trades whether mass-market paperbacks were still available or not.
