Personally, I would welcome this.

I don't use eBooks on my pc, I use them on my Kindle or my Nexus 7 tablet.

A number of times these have saved me, where I would have a technical book on my tablet and could not access the documentation on line, for various reasons.

This alone is why i would appreciate the xubuntu documentation as an epub book.

Since we theoretically can export to EPUB from DocBook, what would it take to make e-reader friendly versions of the documentation? Would we be willing/able to make xubuntu-docs for 14.04 and 14.10 available from xubuntu.org as a test we could receive user feedback on prior to the end of the Vivid cycle? I don't have a full use case yet but wanted to throw the idea out there first before I lost it.
