I do believe that Calibre while inaccessible with screen readers can still
be used to convert using the command line prompt. 
I haven't given it a try, but I have heard of others fiddling with it and
getting it to work.

You may also want to give that a try.

Subject: Re: converting files to ePub for reading on iDevices?

Thank you all for your feedback! I'll give stanza a try and see how well it
works.
I've tried renaming files with the xml extention to html, and it didn't
quite work out. I wanted the xml version of the file converted, as this
would preserve any formatting attributes found in the DAISY content.
As it stands, I'm much more impressed with the readability of files
available in the iBooks app, than I am the read2go app. Being able to search
text, being able to use the command to move by page, and the fact that
braille support just seems better in iBooks are my reasons for choosing it
over Read2go.

Thank you all again for your responses!
Scott
