Question

Gleick implies that the difference between a book lover and a reader is that

Answer 1

A book lover loves books as objects, and a reader reads on a variety of platforms.

Answer 2

Answer:

The book lover loves the object the book represents, but the reader loves to read a book and does it on any platform.

Explanation:

Gleick claimed that not every book lover was truly a reader. That's because being a book lover means that you love the book as an object and that you care about its aesthetics, the color of the pages, the beauty of the font and cover. For the book lover, reading itself is not the most important thing, but rather if the aesthetic that the book brings back pleases you.

The book reader, on the other hand, loves to read, no matter what the book looks like, whether the book will serve as an ornament or even what format the book is in. Thus, this reader does not bother to read the physical book or the digital book, whether on a cell phone, computer or a reading device.
