Scribd books are right justified, and Oyster books are not. It's probably a personal preference which one people like better. Neither have margin nor line spacing options. They have bookmarks, notes, highlights, dictionary. Information syncs between your different devices so you can pick up reading where you left off. You can set-up your account so you have a bookshelf with what you're reading and another list of books you want to read. Oyster also has a shelf for books marked as read and a favorites list.
I've tried out both apps on my iPad and I think the biggest and most annoying difference between Scribd/Oyster and other reading apps like the kindle reading app is what happens when you turn the device sideways. On the Kindle app, the text splits into two columns, which I think is easier to read. Neither the Scribd nor the Oyster app has this functionality.
