What do you mean by "soft copy" and "hard copy"

Soft copy is thinner than hardcover, but because the cover is wrapped in soft paper, it is easy to roll up and carry, and it is widely praised in the market.

2. Hard copy is a copy with a hard cover, which is used to record text information. The content is the same as the soft text, but the cover is different.
