Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You’re at a book signing for your favorite author, but you only have an eBook? Autography, which allows an author to sign your eBook electronically, and even include a photo, dashes to the rescue.
Basically, Autography puts the power in the Author’s hand. At a book signing, you snap a picture of yourself with the author using an iPad camera or another external camera. The image is then transferred onto the author’s iPad, which he signs with a stylus. Finally, the author taps a button on the iPad and the image flies through cyberspace to land in your email inbox, available for downloading into your Ebook (or for easy bragging on Facebook and Twitter).
It’s one of the most uncomplicated solutions to an obvious problem. In fact, Autography’s already been tested at multiple book signings here in the US and abroad.
