Kodak Ofoto Photo books

Ofoto is going to start printing hard-cover professional print quality books. But I was wondering if any other service offers this at an easily affordable price. Anyone know?

Here's the link for Kodak's Ofoto service's books:

Try MyPublisher at http://www.mypublisher.com. They just introduced a pocket book (6x8") where you can get 20 pages for $10. You download a Windows application to create your album and then upload it when you place an order. The user interface is a bit rough, but I'm sure they will work that out. They also have 9x12" hardcover books.

Cheaper than printing your pix yourself

The price came way down and now they offer softcover books too. It's now cheaper to have a book professionally bound than it is to print them yourself.

Shutterfly has similar photobooks, $29.99 for 20 pages, $1 each additional page (also a smaller, cheaper option). I just created one to give as a gift (got it when it was on sale for $20 for the 1st 20 pages; they're now running a promo of 20% off orders over $25), and it's very nice. They offer several options for arranging multiple photos + captions on the page, and while I didn't always find a template that was perfect for the combination of images I wanted to appear together, it worked out pretty well, and adding/deleting pages and moving them around was fairly easy. The pages are numbered in the bottom corners.

Well, this is 2/3rds of a year or so later than the last post, but does anyone have experiences to post re mypublisher.com vs shutterfly
when it comes to the softcover or hardcover books?

Thanks. And, of course any other places that do this.
