Natalie,
I just noticed your signature line which includes the prayer of serenity which has been important to me since I was a little girl.
I first heard it in an old old movie of my parents' day called THE DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES with Jack Lemmon. We were supposed to be asleep in the back of the car at the drive-in, but I recognized from the start that that one prayer said exactly what I needed to accept my blindness and life in general.
A few months later, my family and I went to the local Fair and there was a booth for AA, but my father read that prayer to me, and I committed it to memory because it has always been the prayer I would say when things became difficult. Before seeing your signature line, I had never known the author of the prayer. Thank you so much for showing me that because it is good to finally know who wrote it. 

Dianne and Primrose

Speaking for myself again, I use Daisy now, but before my days of a bookCourier, I would use the HTML version only. But, I saved up my money and now have a lovely BookCourier. Yay!
I also think the more options are great. I have one blind friend who's used braille all her life and when she was a member for Bookshare a few years ago, she would only download the BRF versions of a book.
Anyway, I just wanted to give my own reasons why someone would use HTML rather than BRF. Truthfully though, I think you braille users are great. I was taught braille in my late teens and unfortunately, I just never caught on to it. And with technology now, I'm spoiled. Lol. 

Have a pleasant Monday,
Natalie B.

Well, I was wondering why you don't use the DAISY version, or am I just not 
bright enough to realize that what I've downloaded is actually HTML? I
actually think it is great there are several options.
