In my case, it's no go. Here's what I get in Ibooks!

HI Russ.
While using this program does create some odd text in the file, it
doesn't seem to be present when exported to iBooks. After this program
was suggested, I looked it up on AppleVis, and there's a step by step
guide on how to do this.

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.

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!

Hi,
You may be able to just rename the .xml to .html or .htm, I don't
remember which one works the best.

Hi.
I think calibre can convert from xml. Unfortunately calibre is not
much accessible, but maybe it will work. I have sometimes got it to
work and sometimes not.
Best regards Annie.

Stanza for PC can do the trick. I haven't tried batch conversion with
it, so can't really say.

Subject: converting files to ePub for reading on iDevices?
HI all.
I'm wondering if there is a simple utility to convert files from
various formats such as xml and MS Word into ePub for reading in
iBooks? I have a mac, but would like to do the conversion process on
my PC if I can. I know about Robobraille, but am looking for a
software solution that may also allow me to do batch conversion if
possible.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Scott
