Comment: I enjoyed using this kit. It creates a very nice, hardbound book to share with friends and family. My teenager has used a couple of these to make school projects. The teachers gave her excellent grades each time, so it was money well spent. The software is very easy to use, although you will find that you are trapped in their templates. You can't do much to change them if you want a bigger font, for instance. However, the templates are quite good, so this isn't as negative as it might seem.
I do wish Epson had included something for the backs of the photos. As it is, the backs of the photographs actually say "Kodak". I have used some of my scrapbooking skills to attach another color paper to the back and add a bit more journaling there.
The cover can be tricky unless you have Epson brand printers. There was another brand available, but I don't remember it. They do include extra photo paper that you will use to make very acceptable covers. However, with the correct Epson, you can actually print on the cover itself, which will include the bookflaps, front and back cover and spine.
We enjoyed using this and are planning something cool for Mother's Day.

Comment: I was able to create a great gift with this product! Item was exactly as described, and the software was very easy to install and use. The only thing to be aware of is that the long printable cover for the 5x7 book is only able to be used in certain printers. The 8x10 version of the long cover is only able to be printed with certain other printers (not the same ones as the 5x7). I happen to have 2 printers, so was able to print it, but they do have a good single sheet option for the cover if you don't have the right printer. I would definitely buy this product again!
