It's all about bypassing entrenched and obsolete systems
Book recommendations are a bit strange though in that everyone has their own reading interests, tastes for other art are varied as well, but books generally require a longer time commitment than other art forms.
I suppose this is why people tend towards writing decent descriptions, to assuade the download, although metrics might be an indicator for some that the book is at least worth a partial glance. i.e. this book has been read by 5000 people with an average reading time of 4.5 hours.
