Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: eBoox at 3.8K against Book Blinder's 1. eBoox also leads on chart position (#197 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). Book Blinder's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
