Tags are the single best thing I have seen come to book ordering since the dewy decimal system. The fact that my book has "Space Opera" , "magic" and "adventure" taged on it helps prospective shoppers know better what kind of story it was. If it was merely filed under "Action and Adventure," it would be with cowboy stories, which it has very little in common with. It also allows people to search for "A space opera with magic" if that is their thing.
tldr version = Love tags!
