Let me try to give a different answer that might be more to the point than Faterson's useless rant about epub versus pdf.
After a rather extensive search, I have been able to find exactly 2 examples of actual epub3 books with nice mathematical formulas and (rather involved) instructions on how to actually produce them starting from a latex file.
General discussion:

Example 1:

Example 2:

The epub3 books with math can be viewed on the desktop through the calibre viewer (even though there is no full epub3 support). It can also be viewed through a browser, for instance with firefox.
On the ipad,you can actually read them quite nicely with ibooks because it has (limited) epub3 support. Unfortunately not with marvin yet, but hopefully this is for the future (hint,hint ...
)

Unfortunately, when trying to follow the instructions in the first thread above, it turns out that the latex to epub3 workflow is currently still a bit too involved, at least for me.
