For some reason, since Shutterfly started the new Custom Path, I cannot access mine at work. Since I make books for work too, I am looking for another site to use. But since I have used Shutterfly exclusively, I don't want there to be a big learning curve with a new site.
Thanks, Ann

I have ordered from Snapfish and think they are about the same quality.

I use Snapfish as well. I really like them, easy to use either standard templates or make your own and there are always codes around to greatly reduce the price.

I use Shutterfly, Mixbook, and Blurb and like them all. I think Blurb is best for print quality, but not as user friendly (although I haven't used their new software yet). I've been happy with Mixbook - this is the book I made last year: Mixbook |

I used Mixbook for one since I'd done all the layouts in portrait 8.5X11 and it was really hard to find a company that produces that size. Anyway, Mixbook does  . I really like the book = the quality is great and the price was reasonable. I'm pretty sure I had some sort of coupon code too. |

I've used Mixbook, shutterfly, and Pixel (?). Can't really tell any difference between them.

I tried Snapfish once, and did not have a good experience. They printed some of the pages in my book upside down  |

Thanks! There's a couple on there that I hadn't heard of before. And Pudgy, thanks for sharing your link. That book is great!

I found shutterfly too hard to use and have done all my books at mixbook.com

I have printed books from Artscow as well as Shutterfly and like Shutterfly the most. But Artscow offers a lot of coupons for cheap/free books.

I have used My Publisher. They were easy to use and the book turned out great!

I used MyPublisher twice. Once a few years ago for teeny tiny soft covered notebooks (like wallet sized) and they were just okay. Wasn't impressed with the photo quality. I used them recently for an 8x11. Photo quality was nice, but the cover is complete crap. I really should have emailed them about it. The cover looks rough and feels gross like it was ran over or something. I used a company called Paper Coterie that was really nice, but they mysteriously disappeared this winter.  |

Most of my books are Shutterfly and I really like them. I have used Walgreens and they are ok but I like Shutterfly better. The only one I have used that I won't use again is Photobook America. I upgraded the paper and it is thick and nice but the book warped. This is also a company that you make the book on your pc and then upload it. Their software lost the location of all of my photos about half way through making the book. I could still see the photos so it was not too bad trying to put them all back but it took a few hours. It was kind of weird that the photos were all errorring but yet I could still see them. Anyway, that was frustrating.

I prefer shutterfly, but would love to try a photo book I can access on my iPad. Can I use any of the other sites on my iPad?

Best one I ever did was from Adorama Pix. Great quality!

I am a big fan of Picaboo. They have deals every so often where you can buy a $100 voucher for $35. Right now they have a $20 11x9 hard cover book deal going.
If you are a digital scrapper, you can upload your scrapping papers or element files to use in your photobook. Tons and tons of options...

I always use shutterfly but looking forward to trying Costco. The sample they had was beautiful when I picked up pic the other day.
