Apple Newsstand for iPad a Hit for Conde Nast & Other Digital Magazine Publishers

On October 13, shortly after the iOS 5 became available for the iPad, I noticed something that caused me to digitally mutter Apple Newsstand for iPad the best thing to ever happen for digital magazines. I said this because six of the top 20 grossing iPad apps that day were digital magazines or, in one case, a digital newspaper: GQ, Popular Mechanics, National Geographic, Cosmopolitan, Popular Science and the New York Times.

It appears that my observation is now supported by data from at least one well-known publisher, Conde Nast.
