Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Shelfie at 4.5 against BookletPDF's 2.3. Shelfie also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (76% vs 50%). BookletPDF's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
