ABOUT US
Blurb is a startup that allows anyone to create customized books (as in, a real, tangible book that you can hold). Using the companys BookSmart software (Mac and PC), users can create photo books, portfolios, business books, wedding books, blog books and more. Books can either be created for self-use or shared, marketed and sold at cost or for profit in Blurbs online bookstore. Blurb authors get to keep 100% of the books mark-up.
In October of 2007, the company introduced features that let users collaboratively create books and share photos.
Blurb initially launched in May of 2006 with a tool to turn your blog into a book. The service has since been expanded.
Many of Blurbs competitors like Lulu and iUniverse tend to focus on creating books out of manuscripts, rather that photo-oriented books. Picaboo appears to be Blurbs closest competitor.
