Is this true for other genera?
Is there some other way of finding good ebooks? I am used to wandering along the shelves at a bookstore looking at covers, selecting by author or publisher, Amazon certainly does not lend itself to that kind of browsing so far as I can tell.

I search or browse in Amazon's normal (paper) book section, find a book that looks interesting, and then look for the "Start reading this book immediately on your Kindle" link on the left under the picture of the cover. Once I get to the Kindle display, I then click the "Send me a sample" link and then start following the "related books" or "people who bought this book also bought" links. Each time I land on a book that sounds promising, I click on the "send me a sample" link. Then I turn on the antenna on my Kindle. I start reading a sample ... if I like it, I click the "buy now" link at the end of the sample.
I also use the "recommended for you" link. Once you've bought a couple of books, Amazon will start making fairly decent recommendations.
Or you can do what a friend does. She takes her Kindle into the book store & when she finds an interesting book on the shelf, checks to see if it's available for the Kindle -- using the "Shop in the Kindle Store" link within the Kindle itself. And then she usually walks out with one or two paper books any way!
