who is surprised by this from an obituary in today's Denver Post?
"Frank Mulligan loved books. So much so that, even after his sight began to fade, he spent hours entranced by audio books, still moved by the sound of the printed word."

entranced by audio books, still moved by the sound of the printed word."
A classic example of ellipsis, perhaps? " the taped sound of the printed word" ? (the old quibbler strikes again. Or strikes out again.) I just couldn't bear to see no replies.
I doubt it was referring specifically to the taped sound of the printed word. Maybe it means he preferred the flow of the written word to the more colloquial spoken word.
still moved by the sound of the printed word
