Anyone who has turned digital photos into a printed photo book via Apple iPhoto
or any of a variety of competitors knows how great they are. They make a perfect gift, if you can afford the $20 - $30 they generally cost to create, plus shipping.
Enter UK-based HotPrints, which I was introduced to at the DLD conference in Munich earlier this week. The company is using new printing technology from an undisclosed partner to create high quality photo books on the cheap - just $2.99 plus shipping to the U.S. of $0.75. That’s significantly less than any of the competing products.
