Exactly; that's precisely what I do.  I don't have any problems with reading
technical books that way.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] reading technical material in braille 

You can read the books in braille now.

Just download the daisy and then ask the bookshare unpack tool to unpack the
html extension.
Some braille notetakers can read html files.

If yours cannot then you can open the html in another application and then
do a save as and save the file as a rtf.

Your notetaker will read rtf files.
