Not if you factor in Amazon shipping, which is per book rather than by weight, meaning one hardcover is often cheaper for me than two trades. It gets even better when the HC combines three trades. And in my experience the HCs are often cheaper when you factor in the Amazon discounts.
For example, the first Invincible Hardcover collects the first three trades. The three trades are $10.36 each (plus $4.99 each postage). The first hardcover is $23.07 + $4.99 postage. So thats a $17.99 saving by buying the Hardcover, and I prefer stuff in hardcover where possible anyway so it's a win win.
Edit: Man, I should really just buy the first three Invincible Hardcovers, shouldn't I?
And I'm not just being a jerk, seriously, they do? .Com? The Canadian site is still doing the free shipping over a certain dollar value (currently $40), so I've been catching up on Preacher and Fables through them. 1/3 off the Trades + free shipping makes things pretty easy on the wallet.

i thought i had been misled. eventually i decided to keep slogging through it. I think it was March of the Wooden Soldiers that made me a big fan.
Amazon charges shipping?
