I came back from holiday with some great pics, and a LOT of 3 pic panoramics from my Kodak Z712IS.
I thought a photobook would be a great idea, so I looked at Snapfish, Kodak, Boots, Trurpint, Tescophoto, Myphotobook, and the cheapest, Asda. Even tried iPhoto08 on a friend's Mac.
5 hours later, and each one seems to have the same problem - it wants to crop my panoramics - I had this idea that I could maybe have a panoramic along the top or bottom, and thee portraits below/above that, or maybe a "throw" of photos. Plus I have a couple of "tall" pictures, which would look great down one side. But alas, no.
I also looked into the upload options from Picasa - Bonusprint, Photobox, Klick, Extrafilm, Foto.com, mypix, snapfish and pixu. I only got as far as Bonusprint and Mypix from the list when I thought that surely someone else has wanted to include Panoramics in a photobook?!
Or is the only way to print them myself, and stick them in a normal album? If so, there's a gap in the market here!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Found two - Tescophoto and Aldi photo. When I first read about them, I didn't see that they could do it, but having downloaded the software, I see now that it can be totally freeform.
I didn't want to be downloading every single 20mb page designer from every single printer!
I might wait for another promotion (I just missed one!)
So that answers my own question (but it's probably UK only, which is OK for me).
