A service called Kindlegraph aims to bridge the gap between the convenience of e-books and the singular physical nature of real books. TechCrunch reports that with Kindlegraph, your favorite author can sign your favorite book, even if you bought an e-reader version. The service uses Docusign’s technology to allow authors to digitally sign their works, and the signature (and any accompanying message) is forwarded as a file to the reader’s Kindle.

Electronic signature company DocuSign has raised $27 million in a third round of funding. DocuSign lets businesses send verified electronic signatures to save time from having to handwrite and fax documents back-and-forth. DocuSign hired two new executives: Roger Erickson and Dustin Grosse.
