(On the other hand, the south wall of my basement is incredibly well insulated now...)

Even making each magazine available as PDFs would work for me, as I could read them on my PC or laptop when on the go, and down the road there might be the option to create tagged versions, or convert them to another format, for PPCs.
Have you checked out Zinio?

I love the main stream magazines! Lady's Journal, Good Housekeeping, Consumer Reports, Runners World, Yoga Journal, National Geographic, Southern Living, etc......I've subscribed to all of them at one time or another. But I have a really, really hard time throwing them away and so they stack up all over the place.

A couple of years ago I decided I needed to simplify (get rid of all my clutter). I did not renew any magazine subscriptions....For a time I could get my magazine fix by visiting my elderly grandma...but when she passed.......well, I really miss my magazines (I miss my grandma too :-)). I've been checking out Zinio and I might be ready to renew some subscriptions...I just wish I could read them on my Cybook or my Pocket PC.
