Ran into an author

[Bob]

While at work, an author happened into my store to make some copies.
"Hello, I'm reading your book." I said.
He wanted to know where I was in it, so I picked up my tablet and opened up Kindle, loading up the current book and place I left off.
"Here." I said, showing Chapter 14 of his book.
He seemed pleased and we chatted for a bit. Too bad there is no way for an author to sign a digital copy. Ha.

[Trike]

He could sign your Kindle.

It's kind of old-fashioned, but maybe it's time we brought back the tradition of autograph books for ebook readers who want author's signatures without the hassle of a room full of hardcovers. You can find them for under $10.

or you can spend a little more on a Wile E. Coyote Looney Tunes Limited Edition Notebooks from Moleskine

Daffy, Bugs and Taz also available

While incredibly cool, I must say I'm a bit disappointed they didn't lean into it a bit harder. Mr. Coyote's should have been not just ruled inside, but at least graph paper, and possibly engineering style. They make a few different printed pages already, and that could have been normal ruled for Bugs, blank for Daffy, and hap hazard, or squiggly lines for Taz (I guess dots is as crazy as they get).

[Mark]

Yeah, if the notebook is going to be used for autographs, unruled would be better. Moleskin used to make a Kindle cover with notepad for older Kindle models, but not for current models. Nevertheless, I like Sean's idea of an autograph book for authorgraphs.

I have reached the age where I just can not buy anything but ebooks and I have the same problem. I went to WorldCon in Helsinki and solve my problem by having the authors sign the official Hockey Jersey of the Con.

As Trike said, they could totally sign your kindle. Or your arm and then get it tattooed. Obvious answer is obvious.

or a convenient forehead that the author of December's pick can sign

I do that. Started it because I didn't want to lug a dozen books around Dragoncon.

That's-a bingo!
