![]() ![]() ![]() Using about 40 of the same digital photographs each time, we created photo books using MyPublisher BookMaker, Apple’s iPhoto, Shutterfly and Kodak EasyShare Gallery. We couldn’t judge a fourth factor, turnaround time, because our deadline required us to ask the companies to rush the books out more quickly than they usually do. We focused on three things: how easy and flexible the book-creation process was how attractive and sturdy the finished books looked and how much the books cost. So, my assistant Katie Boehret and I set out to compare the books produced by these four companies. I have long been a fan of these bound photo books because I believe they provide an impressive way to save important memories. Three of these services also offer cheaper, smaller softcover books, and MyPublisher says it believes its low-end books can one day compete with snapshots. The new, wider availability of hardcover books provides another in the increasing number of options designed to tempt digital-camera owners to turn their pictures into hard copy. The two new entrants don’t use MyPublisher to produce their books, and because they are Web-based they don’t use software that resides on your personal computer to design the books as MyPublisher and Apple do. Now, two of the big online photo-printing services, Shutterfly and Eastman Kodak‘s EasyShare Gallery (formerly known as Ofoto) also have begun offering bound photo books, along with their usual assortment of cheesy photo gifts such as mugs and mouse pads. Shutterfly books offers another way to print and display your digital photos. ![]()
