Either way it's not right. If they are a reader they should be able to open
a document and download it. You may want to check that the permissions on
the document library match the permissons on the site, it could be that
someone has edited the rights of readers for that particular library.
You'll find perlist permissions under Modify Settings and Columns in the
library.
