I LOVED the quality of the book I created with Inkubook! The pages were high quality, and made with heavy paper. The pictures turned out very well. I sent my book as gifts to friends and family, and they were surprised to learn that I had taken the photos, and created the book myself. Heck, I was even surprised! The cover is exquisite -- the cover photo is printed directly on the hardback cover, both front and back, rather than using a book cover, or a cutout on the cover. The pictures were very clear, and the colors came out well -- I have had situations were the photos of people with darker skin tones were muddied. I loved this book. The backgrounds were great -- they did not overpower the pictures.
I now know how to work with the software better, so I am sure my next experience with the product while creating the book will be better.
Creating the book is easy, but it drops down after that. I found the process of moving pages, adding and deleting pictures to be more cumbersome. Pages were moved one page at a time, rather than being able to move from page X to Y, especially if Y is more than a couple of pages away from X -- in fact I just decided to remove the pictures from the page in question, and add the photos back to a newly inserted page where I wanted it to be. There was also no way to move from the front of the book to the back (i.e., move to end or move to beginning). I still haven't figured out how to add in new photos -- the get photos button, although it allowed me to select the photos, and said it was working, I never saw the photos in the photo tray. I sent questions to the site, and they did respond. Please note that the quality and "time from order to delivery" hasn't actually been rated here, but since there was no N/A rating, I rated these criteria the same as the #1 criter for ease of use.
