Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: ReadAnywhere at 10K against Watsonville Library App's 5. ReadAnywhere also leads on chart position (#112 vs unranked). Watsonville Library App's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
