If I want to browse, I am more likely to go to Goodreads than to Amazon. I do find new books by chance on Amazon sometimes, though, usually because I look for a particular book and follow the "Also boughts". The only publisher site I usually use is Baen Books, though, because I don't find the others easy to use for discovery.
