That's not the issue here. If you look at the title of this thread, you'll see that it's asking about the word "liseuse" being used outside MR. I am quite serious in my comment that the word "liseuse" stands about as much chance as being understood by the average English speaker as the word "читатель" (the Russian word for "reader", in case you were wondering). I reckon that either word has a vanishingly small chance of being understood, unless one should happen upon a native French or Russian speaker and even then, "liseuse" has so many other meanings that it would probably not be understood to mean "a book reader". "читатель" at least has the benefit of unambiguously meaning "reader".
