Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Booklyst at 4.1 against PDF Edit Reader's 2.0. Booklyst also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). PDF Edit Reader's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
