Readers are people who read.
The term often implies those who read regularly or habitually: She's always been a voracious reader.
Readers may be the audience for a particular publication or author: Our readers expect in-depth analysis.
A reader is also a book of collected texts for instruction, or a device that reads data: card reader, e-reader.
