Make sure to leave reviews for Bloodsuckers and of course my own books. Michael can use all the good press he can get for that book.
Yes, Poplock is the obvious breakout character, and often helps save the day. Underestimating the Toad is always a bad idea.
I thought of something like that, but it still doesn't associate the signature with the book. What's needed is some kind of application that will allow the author to sign with a stylus or finger and then have that signature recorded and linked to the ebook.
A couple of the e-Ink readers I own have stylus input but... they suck, quite frankly. You need a high sensitivity digitizing grid and a lot of processing power to run it in order to capture input like that in close enough to real time that it doesn't look like an Etch-a-Sketch. I own a Tegra Note 7 which when new a year and a half ago was one of the most powerful 7" tablets around, and it has a capacitive stylus and a processor core dedicated to stylus input. It's okay for taking notes but it fails when it comes to dashing off autographs.
Now that I've had a chance to consider what I wrote I think that capturing autographs and signatures directly on reader devices might not be the right way to do it. Does it make sense to you to sign a copy of the title page or frontispiece, photograph it with the device's camera, and attach that image to the book somehow?
