Followup- Both companies have contacted me in response to questions, not 24 hours, but within 48 hours. Blurb suggested some technical things to try, it did not fix the slow performance. They have since said they have a new release that will be out in about 1 week, we will see. The U.S. office of PrintMyPhotoBook.com has replied to several questions I sent. If blurb fixes it's performance issues, I will try them as well, right now I'm working on 144 page large format book with PrintMyPhotoBook.com.

I tried Blurb with its bookmaker software and found that the software crawled to halt after I had entered about 2 dozen large pictures. I've emailed tech support, but have not received a response. I liked the layouts and options in the software, but the sofware has to work. I've since downloaded PrintMyPhotoBook.com, this is the US version of www.printing-1.co.uk. I emailed to the UK company and received several answers, but none from the US office. I like their software. It is much more flexible than Blurb, you can use their templates, but can change, move, add elements, including panoramic shots that cover both pages. Blurb's pricing is cheaper, but if I can't get the software to work, I'll be trying PrintMyPhotoBook.com.
