Actually, Hermione only reads the study-related stuff, or 
maybe "culture"-related (to acquaint herself with the WW customs and 
ways). We never see her reading anything for fun. Rowling even made a 
point to show Hermione calling some dusty folio her "bedside reading". 
I can picture Ron or Harry "cracking" a book of fiction more easily 
than Hermione. In fact, I seem to remember how they were browsing some 
wizarding comic book or other.
