No doubt a very personal thing.
Personally, at least with Kindle ebooks, it is a slow and clunky thing, involving a few clicks and a waiting time for each ebook.
So I guess it depends on how keen you are to find something quickly, and get on with your reading. But then I guess you could class reading synopses as a form of reading. LOL
It does remind somewhat of the old days of renting videos, and spending an hour or two browsing through what was on offer, before finding one or more to take home and eventually watch ... and if lucky time-wise, watch one that very night.
P.S. Part of the issue for me, is deciding where to start looking, especially in regard to whatever mood I might be in. How do you remember what you last checked? It can get awfully confusing real quick. I suspect you often keep checking many of the same synopses ... unless of course, you don't buy a lot and pretty much keep up with your purchases, with your reading ... or there-a-bouts.
Even with a list like the calibre Catalog option creates, is is not plain sailing to wade on through. You inevitably need to cover old ground much of the time.
