How to Print and Display Instagram Photos at Home

We write a lot about Instagram because it's pretty amazing. It's a fast and easy way to share great looking photos from our iPhones. We've written about how to order prints and a number of other things using your Instagram photos, but they aren't always cheap. And, worst of all, they aren't very instant. There's nothing worse than having to wait for all those photos to show up at your door. So, here's the easiest way to put the "insta" back into your Instagrams and print your own photos at home.

We're choosing to make 4" x 4" prints in this guide because they're easy to frame and because you can fit four prints to a regular sized page, getting you the most bang for your buck.

What You'll Need

>> Glossy photo paper
>> Scissors
>> A printer with a fresh cartridge of color ink
>> Adobe Photoshop, or any other image editor that lets you resize images
>> Instagram, of course!

Choose Your Photos

Instagram, by default, holds images in the app itself, saves photos to camera roll, and lets you export photos to services like Flickr and Facebook. The only place you can get high resolution photos though is through your Camera Roll. So, you'll get the highest quality prints if you email your photos directly to yourself.

Unfortunately, Camera Roll limits the number of photos you can send to yourself via email. And, it might be hard to find the Instagrams you want while looking through all the pictures you've ever taken. If that's the case, the easiest source to save your pictures for printing is through an online Instagram viewer like Instagrid. It's easy to make an account, and you can quickly peruse your photos and save them to your hard drive for printing.

Amazon Now Selling More E-Books Than Print Books In U.K.

E-tailer Amazon has been leading the charge for electronic books almost as long as anyone with their Kindle lineup, so it should be a surprise to no one that the company is now selling more e-books than print books -- at least across the pond.

Amazon has announced a milestone for e-books, with the online retailer confirming that Kindle books are now outselling print books in the United Kingdom. The more surprising aspect of this announcement is that this milestone falls on the second anniversary of the Kindle's arrival there.

In 2012, Amazon.co.uk has sold 114 Kindle books for every 100 print books -- numbers that include sales of hardcover and paperback books sold by the e-tailer where to Kindle edition currently exists. Free Kindle books were excluded from the data, but obviously, e-books would have outsold print by even higher numbers if those had been included.
