Remixing the book is a lot easier with a team of people who know how to cook up online print-on-demand services. We are among the core team that started Ofoto, the world's largest online photo service, now called Kodak Gallery. Creating a service that more than 50 million people have used to share billions of photos and create millions of print products taught us one very important lesson: make it easy, fun, and always beautiful.
