As far as I can tell ReadEra non-premium doesn't have any ads. This means the paid version is only about buying extra features rather than removing ads. This is a very respectable business model in a world where almost every other app out there tries to annoy you with ads until you pay them.
I use ReadEra regularly, but I think I'm going to buy the premium version since you brought it to my attention. The syncing feature could come in handy between my phone and tablet.
I recently switched reading modes from "horizontal" page scrolling to infinite vertical scrolling and it made me read so much faster. It's really quite weird that it affects anything at all.
As for "supporting the dev" I don't really get this concept. Do you know them personally? Surely the point would be to support development of something you want rather than the people behind it. I'm in favor of supporting software development if it doesn't violate any of my principles such as being adware.

It can be both.
You love the app, you don't want it discontinued; you pay to continue the developement.
The developers have a solid business model without any shady practices and have such an awesome free version that you don't feel the need to pay to upgrade to premium features; then you may pay just to just your gratitude. Niagara Launcher & MixPlorer are similar examples of ad-free FREE versions.

I bought it to support the dev. I read tons of epub, though mostly on my PW. Readera was most intuitive out of all the ebook readers for android.
