I get recommendations from a number of sources - here, amazon, etc... Some match what I like, some don't.

Browsing I can do in lots of places, and
like I already said, I don't really find a lot of new stuff while browsing B&N.
I can talk about browsing too.
One thing I can say about B&N -- they are very good for finding out about all the books you already knew about, because you'd have to be blind and deaf not to.
And too many B&Ns I have been to have a rather superficial stock even in the back...
