‘Occasions: A Digital Photobook as of now does not vary depending on the occasions. All you can ask for is a message that can be added at the front or the back of the book. However, on the other hand, a handmade Scrapbook can vary depending on the occasions. For instance, a Baby Scrapbook will have a different theme as compared to an Anniversary Scrapbook. A spider man fan can opt for a different theme than a Princess Anna fan.

Flexible: Though one can order a specified number of pages and pictures with Digital Photo Book, Scrapbooks come with much other flexibility such as themes, layouts, dimensions, colors, occasions, purpose etc.

Personalized: This is one of the most important advantages with Scrapbooks. Since these are handmade, they are personalized right from the scratch and have further options in form of tags, captions that can be added to every memory/picture. However, with Digital Photo Book, they are pre-made books that cannot be personalized further.

Economical: Digital Photobooks are economical as they incur mainly the printing cost. Though Scrapbooks on the other hand uses the variety of papers, adhesives, embellishments, ribbons, colors, etc., and most importantly the time of the creator.

Size and Shapes: A Digital Photobook might offer an option of horizontal or vertical shape and sizes, the current variety do not go much beyond. However, with Scrapbooks, the choices are endless and depend on the Scrapbookist’s imagination. The choices can include and not limited to a shape of a diaper, onesie, baby frock, box album, wallet shape, bag shape, ice cream cone etc.

Duplicate Copies: Though it is easier to order duplicate copies for Digital Photo Book, it is not really easy to get a duplicate copy for Handmade Scrapbook. Though a Scrapbooker can create a similar Scrapbook again, however a handmade creation is not at all easy to copy completely, even if it is created by the same person again.

Final Thoughts: Though there are both pros and cons for both types of Photo Books, it largely depends on one’s opinion on what he wants to choose. Though, our final thought is that the Digital world has taken our personal space in MBs and GBs, leaving us with empty albums and lost memories.’ (Source)
