It really depends - for most crappy non-fiction I'd agree, but the really great ones are different.
The Emperor of All Maladies, The Gene, Our Mathematical Universe are some that are better because of their book format. I'd put Hackers in that category too (along with pretty much all the books by Steven levy).
The phoenix project is a lot more entertaining as a novel too thought that kind of blurs the lines towards fiction.
