I must admit that,at this point, I either buy authors I know that I like, or buy books based on recommendations by bloggers that I trust (Dear Author and Smart Bitches Trashy Books can be expensive for me to visit), or personal recommendations from friends whom I trust. I may not always agree with the SBTB and DA recommendations, but I can always tell from the review whether I'll like the book or not.
this is true for both traditionally published and self-published authors. i've gotten some real duds from trad publishers, and don't find that they're all that good at gatekeeping, at least for my taste.
