Blurb collaborates with Amazon to distribute self-published photo books
Blurb, an online self-publishing platform for photo books, is announcing a new program that will allow books created with its online tools to be sold on Amazon. Once a book is created through Blurb, authors may choose to create an ISBN, name a price and list the book for sale with the online retailer. Blurb charges a base price per book to cover printing, and Amazon charges a fee - 15% of the list price plus a handling fee. Profit left over is paid to the author via Paypal.

| Blurb offers self-publishing tools for photo books, now adding the option to sell through Amazon. |
Self-publishers like Lulu and Amazon-owned CreateSpace already offer distribution through Amazon, but these services don't cater to photo books. Authors can continue to sell their own Blurb books on the site through Blurb Direct Sell, an option that allows book makers to keep all of their profits over the base price of each book. For a limited time, Blurb users can list their books on Amazon for free.

The OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro IS Pro is finally here! Chris has opinions.
The Canon EOS R8 is the company's latest mid-level full-frame mirrorless camera. It brings the sensor and autofocus from the EOS R6 II and combines them in a smaller, more affordable body.
The Canon EOS R50 is an entry-level, company APS-C mirrorless camera. A 24MP RF-mount camera aiming to attract smartphone users and, perhaps, vloggers.
See what Chris and Jordan think of the Canon EOS R8 after shooting in Charleston, South Carolina.
The Canon EOS R50 is inexpensive. It's tiny. Is it good? Jordan and Chris dodged alligators in South Carolina to find out.
