How hard is it, assuming one has Kurzweil 7 to synthesize mp3's out of
books, to make daisy out of them?

Subject: making Daisy Books
The recorded part of Daisy books are simply mp3 files. So you will not
make an audio book any smaller by reformatting it into Daisy, you will
make it easier to read and navigate assuming you have a daisy playback
device.
On a Mac the only way I know of to produce Daisy books is to use my
dtbmaker software, which is free and can be downloaded at
http://w3.wmcnet.org/dtbmaker I'm sorry to report that getting dtbmaker
installed and working is not a very simple process and requires a some
background in the perl programing language. Because of this I have
developed dtbmaker online https://home/wmcnet.org/services/dtbmaker/ which
will turn text files into Daisy books and then email the link to pick them
up. This helps if you have an original text file you want recorded.
