Oh in cookbooks and the like, you can't trust a 4+star book. I have found hundreds of "fake" reviews there.
I don't trust 4+ reviews on anthing unless there are dozens spread over months.

A lot of it is familiarity with the genre/material.
SF is my genre of choice so I know the names and tropes and I know which authors are automatic buys and which are automatic passes.

Other genres take a bit more thought but I've been around the block more than once and I know my interests as well as my tastes.

Everybody's mileage varies but ebook buying isn't rocket science.
For that matter, neither is rocket science anymore.
Now, brain surgery...
