I don't think much has changed from the old way of choosing books. Browse by genre/sub-genre, pick up books based on title or cover design, read the back cover blurb, read the first page.

Each step of that drastically cuts down on the number of books that you need to look at. Other people's opinions are just that -- other people's opinions. Everyone has different tastes in fiction just as they have different tastes in music. Both can be swayed by things like political or religious views, social background, past life experiences, all sorts of things.
