Okay,
  I talked to my step daughters Philosophy teacher last night.

  This is what he said.  

A reader is considered as someone who doesn't necessarily read every book in site.  A reader doesn't have to specifically read "books".  A reader is considered (in his opinion) to be anyone who reads anything.  It could be a text book, fiction book, non fiction book, magazine, pamphlets, newspapers, or as simple as the ads on the bullitin board.
  A non reader would be someone who watches the news or listens to the radio instead of reading the newspaper.  
  We have specific canon that Harry reads the paper.  He checked the paper for signs of Sirius.  We know he reads his Quidditch book.   Matter of interest to him.  We also know he reads his text books.  At least his (well at least Snapes .. LOL) potions book.  We know that he has at some point read things on the bullitin board when Umbridge was in charge.  No choice with all the rules.  
  So, with this considered..  If the professors eyes, Harry is considered a reader.  Not an avid reader like we all are.. LOL  But a reader nonetheless.
   Anyway, I just thought I would share the Professors opinion which I agree with completely.
