Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GoodRead at 100% against Dolphin Reader's 25%. GoodRead also leads on ads (none vs shown). Dolphin Reader's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
