It would be an interesting argument, because there is no fixed representation of an ePub. If different devices and different applications render the layout differently, what is the layout that you are protecting?
And I can't see how it would prevent someone stripping off the formatting (which for most simple fiction is almost nothing anyway) and just taking the text.
