You might want to look into odt2dtbook
(http://odt2dtbook.sourceforge.net/) which allows you to save your
content in OpenOffice as Daisy XML. From there you should be able to
pass it to xml2brl which can handle dtbook fairly well.

I could not tell you how well it works. I've only tested xml2brl with
simple dtbook documents. I have not tried odt2dtbook.
