FWIW:
The differences between the two devices are most pronounced on ergonomics. Screen size is part of it--same font size text on the Pro will be sharper because of the smaller pixels--but there is also the fact that the Pro is exactly the width of a paperback book and thus easier to operate in single hand mode. It also has a job dial for paging on the right side.

The other big difference you'll find is the Pro's support for TTS on DRM-free content.

For the record, while the 6" Hanlins don't officially support SDHC above 4GB, in practice many of us have successfully used 8 and 16GB cards with them.

And, finally, there is the issue of price; the differential is about the cost of two 16GB cards, no?
