Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Reading Journey at 73% against PNM e's 11%. Reading Journey also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). PNM e's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
