Building to PDF, ePub, and MOBI isn't that far-fetched. Pro Git does it 
<http://progit.org/book/> and the makeebooks script is available 
<https://github.com/progit/progit/blob/master/makeebooks>.  I messed 
with it only briefly -- my focus was on getting to feature and content 
parity with the DocBook tryout so that they can be roughly compared.

The cheap trick is to use calibre, an open source ebook management tool 
that can generate mobi and epub.

I haven't looked into it, but it's probably not a differential advantage 
of Markdown -- the same approach that takes Markdown output and turns it 
into a mobi or epub could presumably turn DocBook HTML output into mobi 
or epub.
