# 東TOUCH vs 博客來電子書

The clearest difference is rating: 博客來電子書 at 4.6 against 東TOUCH's 3.8. 博客來電子書 also leads on ratings volume (767 vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). 東TOUCH's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 10%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

博客來電子書 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 博客來電子書 has 767 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of 東TOUCH's written reviews are positive against 10% of 博客來電子書's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

東TOUCH ships an update every 2 months, 博客來電子書 every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
