I guess my status as a reader would be that I read things that I am interested in, but interpret visual information and sound information with more cognition. Reading things with imagery do add more stimulus to the brain because an imagination is required but video and sound are more direct. I as a reader am driven to gain information by any means necessary, unlike the past where it was more dependant on written/printed books. In this new age I believe that being inclined to only written media would be irrelevant, with all the tools and medias open to us.
