I'm not so sure. I live in a reality with more detail and fidelity than a holodeck, and I still often find books to be more immersive.

If I had a holodeck I'd probably use it to sit somewhere nice and well lighted and read a book.

to be fair, I was simplifying my point a bit: by holodeck I actually meant the immersive VR from The Culture.
