Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: READING & at 79% against DaBOOKs's 36%. DaBOOKs's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
