If my wife says I can only keep one toy, iPad is definitely my choice due to its versatility. If she allows me two, I'll count Kindle 3 in.
Nook Color, IMO, is like a Frankenstein product, a mix and match of ereader and tablet where both features are compromised.

For people with resources to keep a device for every purpose, Nook Color to those are viewed as a compromise. For someone like me who can't afford such a luxury, the Nook Color priced at $250 is the best of two worlds. I do not want to shell out additional $250 for an iPad which provides features that I don't need and another $100 to $150 for a dedicated e-ink reader. I do not read in direct sunlight and I do not have problems reading books on LCD screen.
Besides that, the size of iPad to me is a deal maker since I can't fit it in my purse and I don't like to carry any more bags around other than my purse.
