Greetings Joanne,
Once again I come late but delighted to have discovered this article and I am also surprised no one commented on something I feel is important to every photographer.
With so many individuals using their smartphone these days as their camera, having a way to present ones favorite and best images I find is important but even more critical for photographers wanting to obtain a gig.
Though I think iBook is the most practical way to go, FolioBook looks like it deserves a further and deeper look because of certain features.
The days of carrying a portfolio of creating a slideshow and dropping off a CD at an art directors desk is way out of date, especially when the iPad was quickly excepted by various businesses. Since I still need to read Scott’s review, but if one can email FolioBook to an art director for viewing, it may just be the solution and a photographers dream come true.
Thank you for all the hard work you do and for enlightening us on so many possibilities.
Warmest regards,
Egmont
