I wonder if it perhaps boils down to individual differences of perception? When I read a book myself, the mental imagery that the process of reading triggers is very much an “internal performance”, and that doesn’t happen for me when I listen to someone else reading the book. It’s always been that way for me, which is one reason I’m an avid reader - the pictures are so much better than TV
