Bibliophile

"Bibliophile" is the common term for a person who loves reading. However a bibliophile is, most accurately, a lover of books - someone who likes books, including someone who likes to collect books. While this may coincide with a love for reading, it to me is not the same thing.

I am not sure a particular "phile" word exists for a lover of reading as opposed to a lover of books. Biblio is the Greek word for "book". The Greek word for "read" is διαβαζω (diavazo), so I nominate / coin "diavazophile" to mean a lover of reading.
