Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DharmaDeep at 100% against Ebook Reader's 51%. DharmaDeep also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.4) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). Ebook Reader's advantage is ratings volume (583 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
