Simple Touch is best for the person that reads A LOT and mostly read text-based books (not PDFs, comic books, magazines, etc). It is easier to read on the eink display and especially the touch, not only because of the display, but because of the lack of distractions (apps, email, browsing) you find in other ereaders. If the person wants to read magazines or other books that rely on color (like children's books), then the NC is best and it also allows you to play games, browse the web, if the person wants to do more than just reading. You really have to be a bookworm to appreciate the nook touch, otherwise you might find it outdated (like I keep reading in reviews). Many people complain the touch is not an ipad, it does not have color and how that's bad, but devoted readers (of text-based books) don't need an ipad nor color to read. A book is not an ipad, so someone that owns lots of books and read books all the time will appreciate the touch and appreciate the fact that you can bring your whole library with you at all times.
