Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReadAnywhere at none against BuriBooks's 4. ReadAnywhere also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 126) and chart position (#66 vs unranked). BuriBooks's advantage is review sentiment (28% vs 16%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
