Autographing e-books?

Honestly, this is one of those ideas that I genuinely can't decide if it's brilliant or stupid or both:

"Basically, what you do is pull up a copy of your book as the author, and it inserts a blank page behind the cover and you sign whatever you're going to personalize for somebody," Waters said.

Waters can sign from his iPad, and that message will show up on the eReader within a couple of minutes on a newly created page.

"What we've also been able to figure out is how to do this remotely," Waters said. "So an author could be sitting in his home or a facility like this and doing a book signing in Cleveland."

I just dunno.  Is this something that people really want?  Personally, I definitely wouldn't want a remotely-signed autograph — for me, an autograph is a memento of getting to meet an author I like, that little moment of connection.  Not really seeing the point of a virtual signature from someone miles or states away.  Still, it's cool and all, I guess.
