We all grow up with photo albums.  My dad was so diligent in documenting our milestones, putting dates at the back of each photos and arranging them in photo albums.  We have photo albums specifically dedicated for each and every one of us.  There's a photo album to document our infancy, our growing up years, and a lot more.  There are photo albums to document the international trips my dad did during his stint at the government.  

Photo albums also serve as a coffee table conversation piece whenever we have guests at home.  It basically tells the story about your family.

Sadly, some family's photo albums were submerged in the floodwater during typhoon Ondoy in 2009.  Good thing out photo albums are in high shelves that is why they were spared.  We can still go back to those memories whenever we want.

Now that we are in the digital age, photo albums are now considered a thing of the past.  People nowadays compile photos taken from their digicams or mobile phones by creating a folder on their desktop computer.  Some people are diligent to keep a copy of their photos on CDs or portable drives.

Several years ago, a different concept in documenting milestones were introduced to the market.  Instead of developing a digital photo and compile it in a photo album, a photobook was created.  

A photobook can be paperback or a hard cover and you can choose a size for each book.  Depending on the size, you can put as many photos as you like and you can even make a layout on each page should you wish to make it look like a scrapbook.

I just tried the Photobook Worldwide app recently to see if it's easier to order photobooks via that app.  First, choose the size of the album that you wish to order.  Second, choose the photos from your mobile phone album.  There is a minimum number of photos per album but you can add more and just pay additional for that.
