Authors love to sign books and their adoring fans will wait in line for hours to acquire a swipe of the pen. But what becomes of these relics in the digital future? It's time for writers to put their pens down and pick up a stylus for the dawn of the electronic signature age. Barnes & Noble has their first ever "e-book signing" scheduled in New York. Authors will sign directly on a Nook Color, imprinting their fancy scrawl on a digital copy of the book and visible to anyone who reads it. Some things never change; they merely jump formats. Digitally signed high school yearbooks anyone?
