I haven't seen them myself, but I CAN believe that the APPEARANCE of a 5" 600x800 display and a 6" 600x800 display might be different. Same number of 'pixels', but different 'density' (a 'pixel' is probably actually made up of quite a number of eInk particles, and that number might be different on a 5" display than on a 6"), possibly different fonts, it's possible Sony and Hanlin (one, the other, or both) put an overlay of some sort on the display that is different. Lots of possibilities. And the human eye/brain is just not very reliable when it comes to accurately detecting relative colors and gray scales. Just Google "optical illusions" for many examples.

That why I asked for someone with both the 6" EZ-Reader and the 5" Pocket Pro to compare the two displays and let us know whether they "appear" to have different 'whiteness' qualities.
