You might get yourself a cheap, used PDA, load the magazines to that,
and save a tree or two [1]. To read a text page, you don't need a fancy,
top of the line PDA, just a discarded, obsolete Palm or PocketPC that
some cor****ate type like me has disdained [2]. :)
If you want an easier-on-the-eye solutions, you can spend a few hundred
bucks and get an eBookwise, a Sony Reader, or a Cybook [3]. Fictionwise
also sells Analog, FSF, and Asimov's (I think [4]) in electronic
versions, saving still more trees.

[1] ObSF: Anderson, Poul, "The Last of the Deliverers"
[2] Old HP iPAQ 1945's would be a possibility. I have one I don't use
anymore because they're just to fragile around a factory, and the
digitizer eventually degrades too badly to take notes. It's still a nice
music player and e-book reader, though. I use Gowerpoint's microbook.
[3] OK, you could also buy a Kindle. I just strongly object to Amazon's
DRM approach. Strongly enough to not recommend it. I also think its
design is klunky based on media descriptions.
[4] I checked. It has those three, and it also sells Interzone.
