I tend to check the book reviews in various publications (Guardian Weekly, NY Times, The Economist) and various recommendations I see online (here, e-mails from friends, etc.). When I see something that looks interesting, I check it out on Goodreads and then stick it in my Wish list (on the Sony book store and/or Kobo) and wait until the price comes down to a point I'm willing to buy. I do check the recommendations on Amazon (I'm on 3 or 4 of the sites currently).

I like to stay 6 to 8 books ahead of myself in terms of what I have loaded on my reader and ready to go.
