It sounds like you installed it in /Library/Spotlight instead (the DMG has a link to that folder) so you should run this command instead:
mdimport -r /Library/Spotlight/epub.mdimporter
Assuming that doesn't immediately give you an error, your Mac will start indexing files in the background. If you run Activity Monitor you should see "mds" and perhaps "mdworker" working hard.
