I don't visualize when I read most of the time. I certainly don't hear the conversations played out--I read a lot faster than people talk. I don't have a movie-version in my head.

I do get a "sense" of the actions going on, and imagine (audiolize?) the quality of the voices, but I don't hear individual words, or parse individual descriptions, most of the time.

And then there's nonfiction; often nothing to visualize. Absorbing concepts instead of character activity seems to go a bit slower, but I'm never sure if that's just because nonfic tends to have more densely-written text; it's possible I'd read novels that averaged 200-word paragraphs slowly.
