First, RFB&D books cannot be read by the BSP Daisy Reader as these books are encrypted and one must purchase a key from RFB&D and the BSP is *not* one of the supported players.
Second, RFB&D books are *only* audio -- no .BRF, .THTML or other formats since the books are actually read by human readers and are not scanned as BookShare books are.

Alex, If you are a braille reader as well as use speech output, I would believe that RFB AND D would give the same options as Bookshare when it comes to downloading the format of book that you want. So, you may have to download RFB AND D books in the BRF FORMAT, BUT YOU WILL STILL HAVE SPEECH OUTPUT TO READ THE BOOK USING THE Braille Sense as well as braille output. I hope I'm making sense. I download a ton of books from Bookshare on my Braille Sense original and store them on a huge CF MEMORY CARD.
