A fair amount of the non-fiction I read (including books, not just journal articles) has math in it. While there are non-PDF (and non-TeX) solutions for rendering mathematical formulae, I think we're going to continue to see TeX->PDF for a while yet.

Edit: It's also handy for scanned documents, including books.
