Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SuperBookCity at none against BookPal 阅读's shown. SuperBookCity also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.1). BookPal 阅读's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
