I bought hundreds of mass market paperbacks from about 1995 until 2011. Then I moved to ebooks and I haven't bought a single mass market paperback since.

Still, I'm sorry to see the format go. It was cheap and affordable even by people with low income (as I've been for most of my life). Trade paperbacks and hardcovers are much more expensive, and take more shelf space too.
