Yes, there are at least three (open source) ways:
- with the Java XSLT engine Saxon (
https://www.saxonica.com/welcome/welcome.xml): using the outdated version 6
(the last one that fully supports XSLT 1.0) and
https://github.com/docbook/xslt10-stylesheets, this is probably the
preferred way to get ePubs from DocBook
- Ubuntu has http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/dbtoepub.1.html
- RedHat/Fedora used to develop Publican, a tool that can also produce
ePub: https://sourceware.org/publican/en-US/Publican/4.2/ (abandoned since
RHEL 8)
