Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The.Reader at none against Reverie's 2. The.Reader also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.5). Reverie's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 7 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
