I have never been a fan of these big, bulky, heavy books. I have always figured over time the binding would start to give/fall apart and this video proves that it does not take long at all for that "SAG" effect to begin. There is just too much weight on these books when they are stored upright on a book shelf.

I like the Omnibus style book as more of a collectible, but not something I'd necessarily read more than once. I consider them similar to those oversized bibles or art books that people have. You'll have one or two as display pieces in a room on a pedestal, shelf, or table. I don't think these are meant to be collected and stored as we do comics or smaller sized books. They lose their specialness or unique identity amongst a collection if there's too many of them together.  |

I like omnibuses. Especially those that include all the tie-ins in the correct reading order.

When the Omega series was released as a collection there were only ten issues, but the trade included two issues of the Defenders as that title contained a necessary part of the overall Omega story. |

wow, that's at least a whopping 5lbs, but yeah, I always had the same problem with some school books, its great having an all-in-one but disadvantages are heaviness, cumbersome, and sagging problems.
