Hmmm - I would say the opposite.  That is the BoostBook -> Docbook 
permits one to de-couple the content from the format so that one can 
generate output as html pages, pdf, ebook.  I have done all of these 
with the system.  One can also use xslt to tweak the output to taste. It 
IS a pain in the neck.  But it can do anything and once it's working 
it's quite reliable.

Since quickbook generates boostbook I would expect that trying to 
specify formats with quickbook would not be a productive endeavor.
