Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Epub Reader at Free against Book Preview's $7.99. Epub Reader also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#45 vs unranked). Book Preview's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
