I can easily see a good portion of non-fiction (self-help, biographies, histories) going strongly to audio.
I feel just the opposite. I don't read self-help, so I'll give you that one, but for most biographies or memoirs, I hate missing out on the photographs (though I have seen Audible offering an extra pdf download of photos with some books). And for histories, I bemoan the absence of bibliography and footnotes. Plus if I want to retain information, seeing is better than hearing.

For fiction, though, I find audiobooks can't be beat.
