A pal of mine told me about an electronic book signing in his area. The author came to the bookstore with a Galaxy tablet under his arm and spent the next few minutes extoling the virtues of his book that he was there to talk about. Later he went to the chalk board supplied by the book store and wrote an email address on the board. Anyone that wants a signed electronic copy can email their own copy to that email address along with their own address in the body to the email. He took all submissions and signed them on the tablet and some sort of software on it and emailed back the result to the customer. The result was an electronically signed electronic book and if you looked in the book you found a signature in the book.
Personally I see no need for signings and see a physical presence as detracting from the electronic book since hte whole purpose of the electronic book is to for ease of storage and portability so a physical presence is exactly what I don't want.
