Spanish term or phrase: leedor
Recuerdo aquí un artículo de Pedro Salinas, En defensa de la lectura, donde hace una distinción entre lo que llama lector y lo que llama leedor.

lector vs. leedor (se supone que un lector es más detenido en su lectura y pone más energía en ella. Un leedor solamente lee sin más esfuerzo) la relación sería equivalente a la de un escritor vs. escribano o un poeta vs. versificador

Explanation:

Check the web for this term and you´ll find out that it fits your text. I remember an interview with J. Coratzar in ´Review of contemporary fiction` where he uses this term in exactly the same way.

Cheers.
