I'm not sure if there is an official word coined for it, but if you want something "official-sounding" I suppose that you could use a type of conglomerated word which has become somewhat common lately: "cultriphile" is a MASH-up of culter/cultri--the general Latin word for knife and the originally-Greek (although borrowed in Latin and French and so carried to English) suffix -phil-(e/ic/ia) which denotes a person who loves or is attracted to something, e.g. Francophile, bibliophile, audiophile.

What do you call someone who loves to read books?
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.
