Autographs, etc.
Dear Everyone,
Since "Gabriel's Inferno" was released in April, I've had the privilege of connecting with a number of you through email, Goodreads, Facebook and Twitter. (If you haven't found me through one of these interfaces yet, please drop me a line to say hello.)
Several of you mailed your paperback copies of the novel to the publisher for me to autograph, and even more of you requested personalized bookplates. (Click here for more information on how to do this.)
Up to this point, Kindle and Nook readers have been left out ... unless they wanted to stick a bookplate to the back of their e-reader. (Although this would be flattering, I wouldn't recommend it)
But Kindlegraph of Seattle, WA has come up with a creative way for Kindle owners (and Nook owners) to request autographs from their favourite authors.
Here's how it works: You sign in to your Twitter account (or create one and sign in, if you don't have one), you go to the Author's Page, then you request an autograph. The author receives an alert showing that you've requested an autograph, and they electronically sign a document that is then sent back to your Kindle. The name shown to the author is the name associated with your Twitter account. You can watch a screencast of this procedure here.
For Nook owners, Kindlegraph put together a slightly different process. They can sign up with a regular email address and receive their autograph as a PDF. (Since this works for Nook, I'm hoping it will work for KOBO owners, too).
I should mention that the people who manage Kindlegraph are very nice and if you have a problem you can contact them directly. They're very helpful.
I welcome your comments below. And if you're supporting one of the charities I'm supporting, would you please let me know?
In other news, the sequel is progressing nicely and I've been grateful for your words of support and encouragement as it's prepared for publication. Thanks again.
All the best everyone and thanks for reading,
SR

Thanks for this.
The creator of Kindlegraph really hit a home run with this one. So many people own e-readers ... It's a great idea.
All the best and thanks for reading,
