As an avid reader, I prefer cream paper to white paper. Like somebody else said in the comments, it's easier on the eyes. Growing up I always associated white paper with 'newer' books and I loved the old school look of cream paper. Also, turning pages felt more satisfying with cream paper. White paper I would normally associate with non-fiction books and leaflets. Each to their own of course. :)
Again, the cream paper on KDP often looks dirty. I also think white paper looks better with books with dark or gray covers. Cream paper often doesn’t match as well.
I have a partiality for cream paper, as that is the industry standard and easier on the eyes. It's been a while since you've done an episode of The Cynical Writer. Here are some ideas: . Big words vs. small ones . Using symbolism/allegory in stories . Integrating instances from one's real life into fiction . Clichés . Atmosphere . Characterisation . How to make writing great
There’s a difference between the cream paper in traditional publishing and the paper offered in KDP. The use of cream paper is popular, but it’s not universal by any means. For example, books by Dickens often contain at least a handful of illustrations, which is why they are often printed on white paper.
Thanks for addressing this.

@Joseph Logsdon I see. Nevertheless, it really is up to you. Have you considered the list of topics for Cynical Writer episodes?
@@milesknightestrada3286 I’ve been planning on making one on big words, but it just takes so much time.
I quite like a crisp white!
