The shell is about the same, the page turns on the 5" is faster. The e-Ink screen is the same although depending on the font the 6" text is a bit darker. This has been fed back to Jinke so I expect them to fix it. The 6" has 4 gray levels vs. 8 on the pocket pro and some text may be at level 7 instead of 8. The pixel size of the 5" is smaller so this may also make it seem not quite as dark. Often a bigger black seems more black than a smaller one. The 8 levels make images better although the 6" does a good dithering job on images.
