People who prefer MegaReader/QuickReader over Stanza cite the simple interface, nice graphics, amount of customization you can do, and (for QuickReader) the improvement it has made in their reading speed. Another unique feature is it tells you how long it will take to complete a chapter and, in an upcoming release, how long to complete a book. Ultimately it comes down to preference. For most people, $1.99 is practically free, so "commercial vs. free" isn't a significant factor.
Free is free, pay for isn't free. But I asked because you where touting a feature as a big deal -- when a free product pioneered it, you are piggy backing off of it, and it's been available for free for a long time.

I'm interested in what is more simple about your interface. I love Stanza's interface. Just a question as, unfortunately, there is no "try before you buy" on the app store.

I do think the speed reading features sound interesting. I think I'd have led off touting those
