I have to admit that for me it is only about recommendation. The more often I see a book that is recommended, the more likely it is I will read it. And if a book caught my interest. I just buy it. Either on Audible, Amazon (physical), or Kindle. I neither download sample chapters nor look at reviews.
However, I only find books in communities that I'm in. So I don't just take any book that I get recommended. The book has to be about the niche that I'm interested in.
Are there no cases where you might yourself be interested in a topic and browse for books? Or read something and want to learn more about the topic or from the author? Only recommended by others?
Had to think about it, but no. I think the reason is that I'm not a reader just yet. I'm trying to build this habit. So if I buy a book, then it had to cross my way a couple of times before. For all the info that I'm interested in, I usually use Google and YouTube to get insights into the topic.
