Television and films are passive media, you sit and consume them and have no active agency in its creation.

Books are an active medium, in order to engage in a book fully you muct actively complete the text with your own imaginative abilities.

Add to this the fact that almost all television and much of film today are all about selling you products. This is much less that case when it comes to books.
