Kindlegraph and Autography are programs being developed that allow writers to literally sign your ebooks so that the autograph is viewable on the ereader.
The first was developed by a former Amazon veteran, Evan Jacobs, during a hackathon sponsored by Docusign (he won second prize!). So far Kindlegraph is more of a side-project than anything serious, but more authors are jumping at the opportunity.
Here's how it works: A reader will make a request to KindleGraph that they want a certain book signed, Kindlegraph contacts that author and gets the e-signature which is then sent to your kindle as a separate page. Users could collect a whole 'book' of autographs.
Autography is another start-up with the same idea. Right now both are trying to get authors excited about this idea. Hopefully we'll see some good things come out of these companies in the near future!
