Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: eLibrary Access at none against csBooks's 2. eLibrary Access also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). csBooks's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 12 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
