That isn't really true. Android malware is certainly less common, to be sure, but it does exist in the wild.
As for "only accessing the reader store," many readers have at least something like a web browser, and while it's very unlikely, even the official store can be compromised. Google Apps and the generic Android store have both been used to distribute malware, if only briefly.
It it becomes a widespread problem, though, anti-virus will become available for these devices. Just hope you aren't part of the reason why, before it happens.
