I'm not sure, it's am embedded vimeo.com video.

@VydorScope, thanks. If I continue to do these at all going forward, they will have voice overs and move use of actual film vs. just still images with transitions.

That is because the video is being played via flash. Last I head iPhone still did not support flash, but I do not have one to check. It plays fine on my iMac, but of course I have flash installed.

I've not bought a book because of the promo video. But, of the books I have bought that have a promo video, some have made me want to read the book sooner then I planned.

I've got trailers for most of my recently released books, and they haven't done one single lick of good for me. So I'd say no.

Most of the ones I've seen are just a visual copy of the words on the front/back of the book - or replicated from the e-book blurb .... seems a waste of time, money and effort....
