The CE Hardback guide is becoming quite rare now, they are on ebay for astronomical prices, and some are selling!
In terms of content from what I've seen its more or less the same as the paperback versions, except with the hardback you get free access to the Interactive map on prima's web site.
Oblivion had a similar online map, it was powered by google maps, pretty awesome feature listing every building and point of interest.
I bought the hardback version of Dragon Age Collectors guide a year ago because it was the only guide I could find, cost me $15. Hardbacks are much easier to keep open without having the pages flip back like you get with paperbacks, plus a hardback just feels more authentic.
Fans will love the hardback, but if your new to the series and just want a guide then go for the paperback.
