I bought the 90-minute exercise vook: all it is is text accompanied by a video, which is not in the least original. What it amounts to is adding moving illustrations to text. The videos must add an element of content or they have have no point. Frankly I don't get the idea and will not buy another vook until it amounts to more than just illustrating text.

They played fine, and they had nice resolution in both of the vooks I bought. My problem was with the STYLE the director used in the Jude Deveraux videos. @Matthew Thanks for the offer to try out the web-based version of the vooks that I bought. I have sent an email to you from my live.com account. @xetoile_2007 I didn’t have any problems with playing the embedded videos.

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have a good experience with your purchases. We're taking note of your comments and working hard to make the best possible vooks. But I'd really like to get as much feedback as possible. We'd really appreciate it if everyone would try a vook -- and because this review was negative, I will say that if you buy the iPhone version of the vook and email me your receipt I'll give you free access to the Browser based version of the same title -- until Monday November 23. Janet -- Please email me and I'll give you access to the Browser for your two titles so you can see a slightly different take on the vook experience. email me at Matthew@vook.com Thanks, Matt Janet,

This is to allow the video to play it in your screen smoothly without any intermediate stoppage. For best result, you might want to start the video and pause it for about 10 sec before resuming it.
