Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: 微信读书 at 28K against Epub繁简通Pro's 2. 微信读书 also leads on chart position (#31 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Epub繁简通Pro's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
