In another conference someone asked how you do autograph sessions with eBooks. I suddenly thought of an app.  When you invoke it, it brings up the cover of a book you have on the smart phone, and activates the camera. The next picture would be of the fan with the author (taken I suppose by a bookstore clerk). It might even allow a short recorded message from the author. I have no idea if anyone would want this, but I wouldn&#8217;t mind having some mementos of that kind from favorite authors.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View 682 Wednesday, July 06, 2011 A needed App for authors This is the first post for today.
