In my experience the books convert better from the rtf file. No extra pages, spaces, etc. I find it a quick step and feel it is worth the extra time. That being said, I haven't done a conversion since I got Read 2 Go, so I could be wrong. However, you can try to convert directly from the XML file. Let us know how it works. BTW I think it should be noted that none of the Daisy navigation features will be retained after the book is made into the e pub format. You will be able to navigate using the iBooks tools.

To Read Bookshare books on your i Phone you need to change the book into a R T F file and then into a e pub file. In order to convert to an e pub file you will need Stanza Desktop, which you can download free here: http://www.lexcycle.com/desktop OK, here goes, Download and unzip a Bookshare book . Open the X M L file. It will ask for your bookshare password. Now that the book is opened in your internet browser, select all, and then copy to the clipboard. Open your word processor such as MS Word, and paste the clipboard and save it as a R T F file. Remember where you saved it. Now open Stanza find the R T F file you just made and convert it to an E Pub file. (I use caliber on a PC, so I cannot give you details on how to use Stanza, but many at V I Phone can.) Once you have an e Pub file simply drag it into i tunes, sync and read your Bookshare book in I Books. It sounds like a lot of work, but it really isn't all that bad.
