Eh. Not really "richer" or "better", but "different" (Destiny)

Given a eclectic enough audience, sure, averaging, you will probably be right, but there are some people who have such good imagination or can interpret written text so fast that books are, in fact, richer than a movie.

Not only that, but there are several good arguments as to why a cartoon of a plant is a lot better for study purposes than a photograph of the same plant. I think the same arguments can be applied to a story, drawing parallels to written form and visual form, respectively.
