Do you ever browse what's available? From your device, you can browse the bestseller, and you can narrow the browse by category and sub-category. I'm curious how many people actually take advantage of that feature.
Thoughts? Comments?
Thanks.

I don't own a kindle. I purchase mostly ePub and try to purchase only DRM free.
One of the things I love about MR is that we are an international forum of many devices and we are not kindle centric. I can see authors that publish at more sites. I look for books that are mentioned here, check out review blogs by some of our members that give honest reviews and don't pay attention to sales ranks. I especially avoid authors that
only publish in the kindle store (or
only link or mention that is where the book is), as I feel they are ignoring a large population of other readers.
Sales ranks or best seller ranking doesn't reflect how much I will like a book.
I always have a large TBR list and never find that I am out of books to read right now. So, I only go looking when I already know what I am looking for to add to my TBR list.
My sis-in-law has a device that allows browsing, but doesn't use it; she found it frustrating and slow. I use my computer to check various stores and then just purchase, as I never have to have the book, right now. I just reload when I have finished a few books and it is time to recharge.
