I dunno if 80% is reasonable. (And don't care.) But non-fiction as a whole is not all pictures.
Never said it was, just that 80% going e was pi in the sky so just a bit soon to be circling the wagons for the total demise of paper... Also a lot of non-fiction may not have pictures but it does rely on specific formatting for tables, lists, formulae and other things which still don't work well on most eReaders although not to bad as pdfs on a 10" tablet...
