Magazines are behind where books were a year or so ago. Most book publishers have waived the white flag and realized eBooks are the future, piracy concerns be damned.
I'm guessing magazines are stuck in the "we're going to be pirated out of jobs if we go digital" mindframe.
I sure hope this changes because they will be out of jobs if they don't adopt new technology and move forward. Piracy will always exist (i.e. you can and have been able to find digital scanned copies of any magazine for years now)...
Anyhow, off my soapbox.
As for contacting individual publishers, I'd say it will take millions of requests and a major shift in management at said magazines before the up and decide to go digital...and that's a shame.
