I think a lot of people who buy books do buy books that they never get around to reading. At least, I certainly buy more books than I ever will read, though I have the intention someday of reading those books. Yet, as a librarian, I witnessed many people who happily borrowed books from a library and proudly proclaimed that they didn't buy books. Those people are definitely readers who don't buy books.

If this is true, that means that the people that read are a subset of those that buy, as opposed to the other way around. http://www.parapublishing.com/sites/para/resources/statistics.cfm Some book publishing stats from Para Publishing indicate that more people buy books than actually read them.
