Maybe epub as backend is a more interesting idea:
given (some kind of gentle ) tex file one can produce an epub file

You're putting the cart before the horse.
Sadly, epub is rather lacking in markup capabilities.
Instead, one should use a full-fledged markup scheme such as TEI, then
one can convert that using an XSLT and add a nicely designed CSS to
create a .epub which will be as good as it gets, but unfortunately,
won't be as nice to read as a nicely formatted .pdf due to limitations
of the H&J capabilities of .epub viewing programs.
An excellent example of the limitations of the .epub format in
comparison to .pdf is _Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy_:
