Frankly, I like reading because it's quiet. I can listen to music and read at the same time, and I can also read and abosrb the rare moments of peace and quiet I get in a house with two daughters. (Pronounce like laughter and you'll get the picture.)
Also, movies (with a few notable exceptions) are 2 or 3 hours long. A good book can last me days (at least a whole day). If every bit of a good book were put in a movie, the movie would be at least 6 hours long. Further, books can impart information that just doesn't make good film.
I have nothing to say about audio books.
