Blurbl converts books into chat message format. Our goal is to make reading fun and engaging. Instead of reading through a dense text page, you'll read through a chat thread. Each character has their own chat bubble, so it's easy to follow and stay engaged. With Blurbl, you gain the same benefit as reading with a normal e-reader but at 2x the speed. You'll read faster and process words faster than you would with the typical e-reader. You'll also be able to: * Look up unfamiliar vocabulary words and add them to your vocabulary list * Download books for offline reading * Adjust text size and theme for nighttime reading Terms of Use: https://joshuayoungg.github.io/blurbl-legal/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://joshuayoungg.github.io/blurbl-legal/privacy.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Blurbl at every 4 days against proLibro's monthly. proLibro's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
