Good point. I wonder how the publishers handle advertising differently. The B&N magazines for the NOOKcolor look just like the paper version. As if you had scanned in every page and compiled it into a PDF is the best analogy. There certainly is no lack of advertisements within them. Just flipped through a few different ones. There are ads for brands like Coca-Cola, Waterford, Infiniti autos, Bose, Reebok, Vaseline, Twinings tea, Sprint Wireless, Chase Bank. The B&N magazines are different than the ones I've bought for my Sony or Kindle which seem to be simplified content articles.
