I agree: I like my visualizations.  But books on tape can be nice: it's more
entertaining than listening to tv when you're doing something that keeps your
eyes busy, such as washing dishes, folding laundry, knitting, putting together
puzzles or models.  And other peoples realizations can add a perspective to
your own.  Also, I'm happy such things are available for less-sighted folk.

However, I strongly believe that tapes are no substitute for reading aloud to
your own children.  Or somebody else's children for that matter.  (My plants,
however, seem to be perfectly happy with the radio. :-)
