That depends on the converter. If you use the same HTML renderer as your usual ePub reader does, then I agree, you arrive nowhere.
But you can use something that can give you a better result, as I believe Prince does: it has better justification, hyphenation support, additional features (like floats, footnotes), etc., not to mention CSS3 and OpenType support that the ePub reader probably lacks.
Indeed, most of this could potentially be done on the fly by an utopic ePub reader, but until such a thing is released, we can generate the PDF offline and enjoy it.
