Thanks, Jason. I indeed have read your mega-review and actually just ordered a book through Inkubook on your recommendation.
What I liked about Inkubook was getting to choose my pictures through the tight integration with Windows Live Photo Gallery (it's the only photobook publisher with a WLPG plugin). What I really disliked was the web interface to create the book. It was really clunky, slow, and inflexible. The price was quite nice, though.
I know that MyPublisher and smilebooks (which you didn't review but a user on that thread recommended) have their own software, which I take to be easier to use than a website. I wish you'd also reviewed software interfaces, but I understand that your path to book creation is different! What I'll dislike is that they're not integrated with WLPG so that I'll have to do lots of extra steps in tagging and exporting photos for book creation.
I wish there was some end-to-end option for managing a photo collection, then laying it out in software. Actually, there seems to be. I just downloaded the Lightroom 4 beta, which has an interface to integrated photobook creation and publishing via blurb.com. Unfortunately, you didn't like blurb in your review! Oh no...
