That's probably true within the world of academia. Outside of that I think many people see uni profs primarily as "people who teach", not sure they know about the research, etc. part of the job. E.g. people often ask me if I have 3 months of holiday in summer since "uni is closed, students are away"

my title was asst prof, but I kinda preferred lecturer, especially when talking about my job to people outside academia. I've literally had people say "oh are you a professor's assistant?", whereas "lecturer" always got the message across. "reader" would probably confuse people though.
