Before I bought an ereader and came to this forum, I am sure that I have read some on the list. I have never used the list as any form of recommendation. After I got my ereader, and came to this forum, my eyes were opened to so many new authors and genres. Before ereaders, I would go into the local Waldens, Borders, or B&N to see what was out there. Because the books by authors on the list were so prominent, I would buy those. But now I have so many other places to go and so many others to provide reviews and recommendations, I have not bought a book by an author on the bestseller's list in a very long time. Would I in the future? Not until the prices of their books come down in price. There are too many other and cheaper alternatives available to me now.
