ePub and PDF serve two entirely different purposes. ePub's are fine for things like novels, but their shortcomings become evident when you have detailed figures, tables, or moderately complex page layouts. PDF files can handle that stuff, and other things, much better. The other thing is that more people recognize PDF files, and know what to do with them.
