I'm not sure if I have mental images - the natural representation for me is more like outlined kinesthetic/spatial impressions. When I do really try to visualize it's indistinct silvery stuff on black. I can project these into space or onto walls but it's not distinct enough for me to do much with it. Basic algebra operations in space are augmented if I use my hands to manipulate the equations. I also write in the air. The kinesthetic sense greatly aids me in physics: I can sort of feel vectors. My reading is somewhat similar to you: I read and the words flow in and have meaning. I only 'visualize' (spatialize?) when I'm confused, like with sci-fi space navy battles.
