I depend a lot on reviews, but mostly on review blogs, ones that I have learned I can trust. I may not always agree with their grades, but from their summary of the good points and bad points, I can always tell whether I'll like a book or not - and that, to me, makes a good review.
I truly don't care whether something is trad or indy published - I care about whether I'll like the book. A lot of times, though, I'll read a great review, and think that I'd really love that book -only to find that it's (to my mind) over-priced, and I decide against getting it. I've got plenty to read, so that's not a problem for me.
