The 6" uses an industry standard battery available anywhere.
The Epson controller provides more that just a faster page turn. It can also do a partial screen draw which means menus will be crisper and faster as well. There are some other features in this controller but it is not clear yet if the firmware will use them.
The run equivalent firmware although not exactly the same, thus have the same formats, etc. with the same capabilities.

Ahh, yes, I had forgotten about TTS. There are so many good things about the new PPro that it's hard to remember them all.
Dale, I thought I read where the thumbwheel can also be used for Volume control. Or am I hallucinating?
I was also under the assumption that the user battery on the 5" was just as prolific as the 6". More juice, but just as easily readable as the other.
From what I read, it might be best to get a good battery from the git-go. I heard some tales of the 6" coming from the manufacturer with bad batteries. Not sure if the 5" will be the same though.
Either way, it's a step up above the competition.
