There's an interesting article in today's Toronto Star about video trailers to sell literature to an Internet generation.
Here are a couple samples:
I love seeing trailers ("coming soons") of movies when I go to the theatre! And yes, it does influence me about whether I'll see the movie when it comes out. So it's an interesting concept for books.
Would a video trailer entice you to read a book?
Those looked interesting, I think I would read Room, not sure about the other one though.

I'd have to say yes a bit - if it's a book already on my radar, it can move it up the list. If it's a classic I have no interest in, then no.
