Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReadEra at none against EPUB Reader's 3. ReadEra also leads on ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#114 vs unranked). EPUB Reader's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
