Like James who posted in August, I have books on hold. Any update you can share? When can we get this option for big books? Thank you!

My first color book delivered today is disappointing. I have a softcover ; good color detail on the covers but both back and front pages are curling up at the corners. I can't get it to lay flat. The inside colors are dark and murky (blue skies look gray). There is no life to the photos. I wish I had read these comments before I ordered. My first color book delivered today is disappointing.

I can't print to proof a 100 page document/photos on my home printer and there is no way to upload it to a cheap b&w kinko's type printing service to create a proof. I don't care about the logo/watermarking stuff, just about being able to print a document without using my little home printer. Grrr.

Does anyone have any suggestions for Mac users about using color? How do I calibrate brightness on my monitor? What programs do I need? I always thought Mac was superior to a PC but it doesn't seem like it when it comes to printing. Thanks.

If not is there any other option to make this happen? I am trading in my junk of a PC for a MAC, is there any way the exported/back up version of my book will transfer to my MAC??
