Yomu EBook Reader is free to download; Booklover costs $3.99 up front. Yomu EBook Reader sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Booklover asks for nothing beyond the download.

Yomu EBook Reader holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yomu EBook Reader has 1.6K ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Yomu EBook Reader's written reviews are positive against 87% of Booklover's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Yomu EBook Reader ships an update monthly, Booklover every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
