There's lots of ways to judge a book apart from by the cover.
I've got some books for free as the first book in a series. They hope that you will buy the book once you've read the first book.
Many book selling sites let you read previews of the book. Usually of the first chapter or 10 pages or whatever.
Recommendations by friends, associates etc who have a similar interest.
If you're looking at physical books (I don't see any reason why this thread is restricted to ebooks) just going to a bookstore and browsing the shelves, flipping through the books.
That's just a few methods...... I'm sure there's others than just deciding on a book by its cover..
