You can actually find the name of the book title, and an XML file, after unzipping the book, which you can then open in Firefox, and read it that way. It's not like that actual Daisy reader, Etc, but you can at least read a book within your web browser. Unless there's another way that I am not familiar with that's the current way to read Bookshare books that I know of under Linux
emacspeak has support for reading bookshare books if you must read locally. Other than that, firefox can be used to read bookshare books once you're logged into bookshare.org. Maybe other options exist but those are two I can think of off the top of my head.

Subject: [orca-list] Reading Bookshare books
Hi,
Some of my textbooks are on Bookshare. How would I read these in Ubuntu?
