Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SAM EDOC at none against Reading List's 10. SAM EDOC also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 17.0). Reading List's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 36 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
