<description><![CDATA[You&amp;39'll still to visit the bookstore to get your book signed. (Credit:Barnes &amp; Noble)Lovers of literature know that having a book signed by a favorite author is something truly special. How do you sign an e-book though Hopefully not with ballpoint. Barnes &amp; Noble is set to debut a new feature for the Android-equipped Nook Color e-reader that lets authors digitally sign their e-books using a stylus.  Writer and illustrator Sandra Boynton will be one of the first authors to host an e-book signing, and it's scheduled for Barnes &amp; Noble's Upper East Side store in New York City (7 p.m. on Monday, May 2). The event will promote the digital version of her classic children's book &quot;The Going to Bed Book.&quot; (In keeping with the book's theme, Boynton suggests both adults and children arrive in their pajamas' I'll be the one in the &quot;Brilliant!&quot; Guinness flannels.)Other e-readers, such as the Sony Reader, already make it possible to write on pages. There is also a company named Autography that carries a patent for &quot;inserting an autograph or other salutation into an e-book.&quot;  Despite the existing technology, though, the phrase &quot;e-book signing&quot; hasn't hit the mainstream. It's an interesting play from Barnes &amp; Noble, a company that's redefining itself as paperback sales continue to dwindle due to increased competition from Amazon's Kindle.A representative for Boynton also confirmed that B&amp;N is looking to expand the option to other e-books in the future. Hopefully marathon book-signing sessions with a stylus will be less carpal-tunnel inducing than those conducted with a pen.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
