I mean, what comes after the quote is even worse

"The only people who still read books for entertainment are women who prefer their porn to have DIY visuals. The stats back me up on this. If you’re tempted to disagree, go walk the aisles of Barnes & Noble"

And does not make me want to engage with the article neither for entertainment, nor information.

Either way, no. Reading a book stimulates one own fantasy and imagination in a way no movie can - you have to create the pictures, sounds and sensations of the story by yourself.

Text -> 3D picture

All in the mind, I find that entertaining in a way no movie can, if the text is good.
