Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 日医Lib at none against eBook Maker's shown. 日医Lib also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). eBook Maker's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (33% vs 25%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
