Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bookwise at 69% against 東TOUCH's 20%. Bookwise also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). 東TOUCH's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 18) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
