Does it keep the headings in tact for you?
I get thousands of page breaks and no headings when I convert xml files to
epub.

Right, you have to open the xml with a web browser, copy the text to
the clipboard, and then press alt f to get in to the file menu and
choose create new from clipboard. The shortcut keys for various things
don't seem to work, but you can access the menu structure through the
one that does work, alt f. Then, Just hit alt f again, and go to save
as and enter the book name followed by the .epub extention. Also,
since iBooks indexes books based on the information you can edit in
this program, you need to set the title and author accordingly. Do so
by pressing alt V, and then arrowing down to book info. You can
backspace out the title of unknown and enter whatever you want. Also
note that the next field you get to when tabbing will say "genre" but
it's mislabled. It's actually the author.
After saving the file where ever you want, copy it to Dropbox, open
Dropbox app on phone, find file, open file, and then go down to the
lower right corner of the screen on your iDevice and double tap the
export button. Choose to export to iBooks, and then wait. Once the
export process has completed, the file will be in your iBooks library
and iBooks will open the file for reading.
Hope this helps,
Scott

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
