Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Booklip at none against EPUB Reader's 3. Booklip also leads on ads (none vs shown). EPUB Reader's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
