Jacob,  my answers after your questions below:

-----Original Message-----
While can easily enough read ePub eBooks on my android unit, using the 
bookShare app, go read, am just wondering what would be the best software to 
use on the windows PC itself?

A:  For free and to be used as is software, Adobe digital editions version 2 
works well with the screenreaders and you could also register and use it to 
open your drm protected .acsm  files and download epub purchases from e.g.  
Kalahari.com, where the kalahari EReader is not accessible.

I was told it also works for un DRM protected files with braille reading via 
the screen readers.

Kurzweil 1000 only from version 13.02 also works very well for reading epub 
files, as you have all the bells and whistles and you can save in other 
formats, but you can't read drm protected files with it and it's of course not 
free.
 
Also, while have quite successfully/comfortably used the epubBud.com website to 
thus far convert various other formats into ePub documents, what's the best bit 
of offline software to use on the windows PC itself?

Thoughts? Suggestions?

A:  If you have relevant Calibre plug ins installed and enabled the full 
calibre on your pc, the command line syntax to convert is:

Ebook-convert filename.epub newfilename.newextention

Where the new filename and new extention is what you wish and with no spaces, 
commas brackets etc. in the file names.

The main calibre program is not accessible via screen readers.
