Ideas!

in Suggestions
Hey everyone!
Seeing that the Suggestions thread already has some activity, it seems like folks really want the ability to offer their ideas.
To make it even easier, I am converting the thread into an Idea category. Now you'll be able to vote up or down on Suggestions you like.
Please take a moment to do this when you view a Suggestion. The more I can show people agree with ideas, the better chances are that someone here can act on these ideas!

But...as soon as I turned it on, I broke it...
So, my great idea to allow for some interaction on the Suggestions will be a few days before it actually works.

Is it possible to have a hand-printed "watermark" that can be applied to an order? My thought would be that I hand-write a note -- "Dear Joe, Hope you enjoy this, pay attention to the stuffed pirate-armadillo toy on page 22. My best to Bessie and the tots."
Then we scan and upload, attach it to the order (specifying a page number) and the desired print is superimposed on the existing page. If we've done it right, we hit white space and it's almost as if we hand-inscribed that book to the reader.
No, it's not as personal as live ink on a flypage, but it gets shipped once, not twice. And it would take some tech wizardry to incorporate it into the purchasing wizard... But if it were possible, it would be really cool.

It sounds very creepy to me.
I would not like to experience such a thing. When I buy a book online, or in a bookstore, I don't expect to receive any personalized communication from the author? Why would you? You are buying a mass produced product. Even if you bought an original painting you would not expect to turn the frame over and find a cosy little note from the artist, thanking you for making the purchase.
Would a reader appreciate a personalized thank you note if they hated the book? Would they even appreciate it if they liked the book? You can always use a generic thank you at the end of the book.

The idea here is not something that would go out on all orders.
This would be for me, as the author, when I buy a book for "Joe" and "Bessie" so that I can put a personal note and a signature without shipping the book twice. People who order for themselves would not get the note.
For example, if I sent my book to my brother, I could inscribe the flypage without ever touching the book. That would be the idea.

Actually, I was thinking of doing a bookmark with a 2GB USB Flash drive attached to it. Buy one special print book and I include on the flash drive a collection of e-books, an audio book of an early book I had produced, and webpages with links to my blogs & forum as well as other materials.
Or maybe a CD-R disc instead of a USB thumb drive? Point is I send it to the reader as a promotional item or as a gift from a kickstarter page.
