Have you made and ordered a photo book online?

I was going through this Groupon phase right before a trip to Antarctica, and I picked up Groupons for Picaboo and Mixbook. Has anyone had any experience with these sites? I ordered the Picaboo book and it is really quite nice, but I found the software a bit difficult. However, now that I got through one book, I think it would be fairly easy to do another one. I need to get the Mixbook one together next. Anyone else have experience with these or other sites? I'd like to find a great, easy-to-use provider - these books would make fun birthday, etc. gifts.

I made a photo book from PhotoWorks a few years ago. It was pretty straight-forward and easy to manage. I first picked all the photos I wanted to have as options, then it had a digital "book" like I was making it in real life where I could drag and drop pictures. It's now part of shutterfly, so I can't say if it is still as easy to use.

I go through Groupon phases, too. I had to stop the emails from being sent to my phone to cut my addiction.

I made 2 through Shutterfly, both came out very nice. I found Shutterfly pretty easy to use, but I wasn't being particularly demanding...

I've made photobooks from Shutterfly & Snapfish. The Shutterfly default sizes for books were considerably smaller, but the pics definitely looked better. I found Shutterfly easier to use.

thanks for the replies. I will have to check out these sites. Shutterfly sounds like a good option.

shutterfly is awesome. sign up for their emails and you'll get free prints. after your first order (or maybe without even ordering) they will send you emails once or twice a year for a free photo book, just pay shipping. i have 2 photo books here i got free.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
