eBookNewser Readers Respond to Creepy Nook Ad

Last week, we showed you Barnes & Noble’s new TV ad for the Nook eReader. We said the ad was slightly creepy and wondered what you thought. A bunch of readers wrote in, noting that the ad was good at getting women’s attention, but was maybe also, as we said, a bit creepy. Here are a few excerpts from the comments:

“The ad spoke to me . So, I would say it successfully targeted women, who have loved books since they were children and find reading to be both an escape and practical,” wrote “Theresa.”

Frank McPherson wrote that this add isn’t weird if it has a twin: “If they release another ad that shows men/boys reading, then it will make more sense.”
