If a vendor's policy deters you from buying the magazines, make sure you notify the publisher as well as the vendor.
I only subscribe to Analog and Asimov's, and I occasionally buy individual issues of Hitchcock's and Elery Queen. I would love to buy these directly from the publisher, especially since Dell seems to be pretty progressive -- most notably, they offer them without DRM.
I imagine vendors probably have contract terms that prohibit/discourage publishers from selling directly, but the publisher needs to know that readers are dissatisfied.
