Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ASA Library at 1.7 against Pooleys eBooks's 1.0. ASA Library also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ratings volume (47 vs 1). Pooleys eBooks's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
