I will always read reviews/recommendations when they are available. I am leery of buying an ebook without them. It is different from being able to wander into a book store and thumbing through the books. I do prefer the negative reviews as sometimes I suspect the glowing reviews may be from friends or acquaintances - depends on the number of course. I will also check out the reviewer to see what other books they like (talking about Amazon here). My greatest fear is ending up with a romance story disguised as something else. I have bought duds both as paper books and ebooks despite my research but they are more than balanced by the gems. The covers attract me initially but I try not to let them sway my judgement too much.
