I prefer to make my own ebook files with my preferred formatting, so something like .rtf or .html works best for me. If those aren't available, I'm comfortable with extracting the html files from ePub.

I picked the "other" option because I think you might want to look into .brf and DAISY formats as well. Tech-savvy blind people are hungry for accessible ebooks. Yes, we can get ebooks for free from various non-profit organizations, but most of the blind people I know want some way of supporting the authors whose works we enjoy. Because of DRM, most commercial ebooks are just as inaccessible as print books, which I think is a shame.
