I believe that all BookShare books are available in BRF or DAISY format. I read BookShare books constantly here. I download the zip file to my PC and extract or unzip the files into a folder that gets automatically created for you. That folder which is created contains all the files for the DAISY book. I then copy the folder or book into the BookShare folder on the book Sense and am off and running. You can also go into those files on the PC and extract the XML file and place that into the documents folder on the Book Sense. I use the DAISY format because you can maneuver through the book a little better that way.
I love BookShare and have used it for many years and find it well worth the money. I routinely check the New York Times Best Sellers lists and now they have a list of Pulitzer Prise award winners from which I found some interesting material the other day. If you read Braille, you can ask them as a nonmember to send you the book in Braille. They may charge you for it. But if you think you will use the library on a regular basis, I have found it well worth my money.
