I’ve just stumbled upon Lulu.com, a website allowing creatives to publish books, calendars, comics, music and software without any technical knowledge and with no minimum print run. The idea is very simple and the breadth of products available is great combined with the ability to print one-off copies of your work.
But for a site with such a creative audience, many features could have been more intuitively designed. The site is screaming to be Web 2.0, and while they have obviously tried to mimic Amazon they have missed the boat on many pages.
