Angry Robots debut at Forbidden Planet

New imprint, Angry Robots. It’s genres span from science fiction to fantasy, with swashbuckling along side space travel.

Introduced are various authors; they go beyond merely talking about their titles though. The authors are excited to share but at the end of the video there’s a section about e-book signing.

Kindle, Sony E-Reader, iPhone – they all let you buy and read books without purchasing a hard copy. Many folks still enjoy though getting the author to sign their copy of a book. What happens though when most content is downloaded.

Amazon and Sony should create an e-signature standard for digital content. Imagine the author sitting at their workstation and having a queue of requests for digital signatures for their works.

Requests organized by book or song title could be browsed. Each requester allowed one sentence or so many words to describe their signature request. This could even get more fun with creators able to add additional digital content beyond signing the work. How wonderful would it be to get an autographed photo alongside that new album or book.

Solutions are left to the audience and e-reader manufacturers.

Cheers,
