I will not give you a Yes or a No -- instead I'll tell you what I do.

I almost always remove the dust jacket and set it aside where it will be safe and not get dirty, torn, or creased. I then replace the jacket after I finish the book.

I find that while reading - sitting in a chair, sitting at a table, propped up in bed, etc - the dust jacket moves around and slips up and down and side to side and gets some creases (or worse) on the top and bottom and sometimes the sides.

If I want the dust jacket to remain intact, I remove it while reading and put it back on after I finish the book.

I happened upon this question while researching the ways to make clear covers like you find on books at libraries.

I plan to make clear covers for all of my books - whether they have a dust jacket or not - to protect the book and dust jacket, if there is one.

I also plan to do something to add some protection to my very large collection of paperback books.

I hope I helped you.

Remember, if you take the dust jacket off, put it where it will not be damaged (in our case, since we have several cats, I have to be careful where I put a dust jacket)
