One of the misunderstandings about .brf is that you have to know Braille
to use it.
You don't because the books can be translated back into text.
Personally, I don't generally download the .brf version as those books
don't have true pagination.
But, returning to your original question, many eligible NLS patrons don't
avail themselves of the Braille books in the Web Braille collection
because of the mistaken notion that they have to be able to read
contracted Grade II braille or own a device that can.
The truth is that these can be converted, and programs such as Kurzweil's
K1000 does this automatically when the book is opened.
