I agree with Ficbot for all except #1. I don't care for certain types of genres, and I tend not to browse for them at all. But I've taken chances on writers based on their input in discussion threads (other than their self-promo), and in some cases I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the book. Admittedly, those books didn't suddenly turn me onto the genre, but I more than got my money's worth.
