A few months ago someone here recommended Lisa Lutz as an author who has 4 books in the "Spellman Files" series. It's about a slightly dysfunctional family who run a private detective agency in San Francisco. (We were looking for more books like the Stephanie Plum books from Janet Evanovitch).

I started with one on my new Kindle and I've slowly bought them all and my wife is in the middle of the series.

Well Ms Lutz has a new book out as of yesterday "Heads you Lose" and she is doing a book tour. I plan to attend one of her signings and naturally I was going to buy the hard-cover copy for her to sign.

But - I would really rather order the ebook version. This seems kind of wimpy to go to a book signing and not buy the book. And it's kind of fun having signed copies of a book by a favorite author.

So what to do?

Should I bring a Sharpie and have her sign my leather Kindle cover? Maybe we need a 'skin' where authors can sign the back of our readers?

Have any of you attended an Author event, but purchased the ebook version? Does it feel strange?
