Photo Album options (snapfish, kodak, etc)

has anyone purchased the albums that you can buy online through places like Snapfish, Kodak, etc? We are really thinking of going with 12th Night and are trying to figure out what we would do for albums (even though Dom says do NOT focus on the album, we are! lol)
my parents are divorced so we would want 3 parents albums. We've already spoken to our parents and they are totally open to buying an inexpensive white album from Tar-jay as opposed to one that costs $100 and is leather, etc(although you can buy leather through them, too)..esp. since we would be putting the photos in ourselves, anyways. Then my FMIL was looking online at some of the photo sites and noticed that you can have albums w/ pictures printed on the page (a la the magazine style albums Duet and 12th Night have). They have lots of other options too, like regular photo albums that seem somewhat inexpensive.
I was just wondering what the quality is like..I don't need anything super fancy but don't want to buy a piece of crap either, naturally!

I was thinking this might be a nice option for us, too, in addition to the more traditional professional album we would buy through 12th Night b/c I really like the look of the magazine albums but not sure if I will 20 years from now so this way maybe I could have a less-expensive way of having both styles.

ok, sorry this got so long! any input? thanks!

I have ordered from the kodakgallery.com website and the album I got was great. I think the best site is mypublisher.com though. They are easy to design and you wouldn't know it wasn't professional.

I am so excited to find out about this I keep checking my post and finally someone has responded!
What kind of album did you order? Was it the kind with the pictures printed on the page or traditional?

Re: Photo Album options (snapfish, kodak, etc)

I ordered an album with the pictures printed on the pages. It was a simple layout, but the picture quality was great, very clear and just like it looked on the screen.

I've ordered albums from shutterfly.com and they were really nice!
