My favorite books have something very special between their pages: Inscriptions and autographs. Unfortunately, that special quality can’t be replicated with ebooks or readers. Not exactly, at least, but Danie Ware has an idea that might almost work.<\/p>\n

Danie Ware, a PR gal for comic book store Forbidden Planet, describes her plan to capture the collectible nature of old-fashioned books with readers as follows:<\/p>\n

Removable, collectable vinyl covers \u2013 plain, a selection of colours, maybe they can be stylised by your favourite art toy designer \u2013 but ultimately, they’re there to collect signatures. Take one to a Convention, keep it on you, it protects your Kindle, it looks cool \u2013 and you get to show off all the autographs\/sketches you’ve collected.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Clever idea, but then you’re left with a shelf full of book covers and at that point you might consider collecting regular books again. It’s a workable solution, but still not perfect. How will autograph collectors cope in the age of ebooks? Or will they just never make the jump from paper to e-ink? [Danie Ware<\/a> via Futurismic<\/a>]<\/p>\n
