Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Accuris EWB at none against BookPlayer's 15. Accuris EWB also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). BookPlayer's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (20K vs 2). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
