Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: eBoox at none against LinguaReader's 7. eBoox also leads on chart position (#203 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). LinguaReader's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
