It's certainly written from the point of view of layout on paper. And it would certainly be permissible to OCR a printed book with typographic copyright and produce an ePub from it.

I can't remember if it has anything in it that would obviously protect ebook formatting, but I suspect that it might be considered to cover that if such a case ever came to court.
