You too are not understanding the issue with 'reads'.
You say it is describing a 'state', but where is the stative quality in the verb 'reads'? I have asked this several times now but it has not been answered.
As far as I can see there is a circular argument going on here: a verb in a mediopassive construction has to have a stative quality, and it gets that quality by being used in a mediopassive construction.
