Have you always wanted to get those family photos in some kind of lasting format? Well, how about publishing them into a professionally formatted and bound book? Books are format-independent and last almost forever. Not only that, but they are easy to pass around and require no technology to look at.

This is a great idea: Download free software to help you create your book, then upload the book and have it published in as few as a single copy. I’m thinking that this could be a great gift for my family … my photos put into book form. The business model looks good, with the money being made off the printing, not off the software. What a great idea. The company, www.blurb.com, is not out of beta yet, but you can visit the web page and they’ll let you know when things are ready to go.

By the way, the books sell for as little as $40, including shipping, and for that you get a hardbound, full color book. This idea demonstrates that the Internet is fostering ideas that are only limited by the imagination.
