Isn't there a need for it? For me it's clear, that XML Mind's ebook 
format is superior to (the more and more obsolete) DocBook format.

Since I have authored many tutorials and a 500 pages book as DocBook, 
I'd really like to convert them.

Especially for my 500 pages book, it would be a prohibitive amount of 
work to generate the messy and low-quality HTML from Docbook, having to 
remove/convert all the unnecessary divs and then re-create the binding, 
conditional profiling, index information, etc.
