All of those below. Plus I use goodreads. I select a book I love then read the reviews for that book. I then select those reviews I agree with and check out the reviews of other books they have reviewed

Recommendations: I buy a lot of books based on recommendations I see here at MR. Eg I'm currently reading (and very much enjoying) Andy Weir's "The Martian" after seeing recommendations for it here.

Deals: Amazon often have great deals that are hard to resist.
