albelli

albelli is a new photo book publisher and has a beta software program. They have an association with Photobucket and the option to get your pictures off a few other online photo sharing sites. I don't understand why you have to download software to use the program since you still have to be online to use it. The download isn't large, but it also includes adding Adobe AIR which might take up more space, too.

albelli only has the option of linen and leather covers. They have a standard 24 pages, which is 4 more than most sites.

This might be a good option if you use Photobucket, or want a plain photo book.
