Digital Magazines That Actually Generate Revenue

I'm involved with a project to help build the case for advertising in digital magazines. As part of the proposal process, I created a list of digital magazines that are optimized for digital delivery that support advertising sales.

If you are trying to sell advertising into a digital edition and getting resistance, show them this PDF. It contains the best list of high profile ad supported digital magazines I could find.

Also, if you know of any other ad supported digital magazines not included here, please post them!
