In addition, you can connect Photo Book to the computer via USB and easily transfer photos, videos, and music from the computer to Photo Book.
Photo Book lets you organize your photos into different albums and choose a specific album to view. The “Photo Album View” displays each folder as a separate photo album, showing its folder name and a preview image of the first photo in the album. “Photo Thumbnail View” lets you browse through the thumbnails of the photos in a selected photo album. In addition to running a full screen photo slideshow with adjustable time intervals, you also have the option of running the slideshow with an elegant page-turning effect, just like you were flipping through an actual photo album. You can also add music to play in the background along with your slideshow.
