Hello I am a volunteer for the Bookshare site that you mentioned and as a user 
myself I prefer the VRF format so that way I can read it on my braille display 
I save it to dropbox and then I open it up with my braille display or 
alternatively I download it to my computer and open it up with my braille 
display by saving it directly to my braille display which has a SD card. I also 
like reading via the MP3 as well which is an option there’s also a daisy option 
and I think $50 is worth it in the US. It is a shame that NLS and Bookshare 
can’t collaborate in Mexico but hopefully they will someday.
