They have "Second Life" virtual book signings... including a great one by George R.R. Martin. http://www.randomhouse.com/bantamdell/index.html Very cool idea! Anyone else seen Second Life readings like this?

Conrad Black did a signing in London from his home in Florida. Ah, technology! And the inventor of the long- distance signing device in question? None other than Margaret Atwood!
