Josiah, The incentive is very powerful for a sub-sector of users, when I was younger I wanted to be a cosmologist and science fiction writer. An IT career happened instead. Only recently I started to think about writing again because I could build a universe, a solar system and a number of planets and document it in TiddlyWiki. To think that within that wiki the eventual content can be produced then published to a common reader format sounds great. We can do this to PDF with our browsers so what extra value is direct to epub offer? I imagine a richer index and more?
If however there are good PDF to epub converters I would not waste our time with another export format but add it to improving PDF outputs.
