What's missing for me in the poll and both commercials is the iPad. I have yet to hear of anything about the Nook Color that's better than on an iPad. Until I do, as an iPad and Kindle owner, I have no reason to even consider getting a Nook Color. (For instance, if the Nook Color had the 30 day battery life of the Kindle 3, that would be an obvious selling point over the iPad.)

I personally prefer the kindle over the nook color, but any ad that encourages people - of all ages - to read gets my vote. I liked the mix of media in the nook ad (hard back, paper back, and ereader), and how the ad was written just like a child's book (Dr. Suess comes to mind like demonstrated at the end). BUT I'm also the person in the kindle ad who is constantly demonstrating to my "but I must FEEL the paper" friends that nothing is missed with ereaders. So, I vote that they both have a story to tell, and will appeal to both types of people. The nook color is just a tad more memorable with their story - who doesn't remember their favorite Dr. Suess book? Besides, I'm going to read until all the books are read myself - but on my kindle.
