Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Edmonton Public Library at none against LeReader's 10. Edmonton Public Library also leads on ads (none vs shown). LeReader's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#85 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
