At the moment, I know B&N doesn't actually set up a "1 yr subscription," but an agreement to buy a year's worth of a magazine... one at a time. I'm hoping the publishers will eventually set up actual yearly subscriptions, which should cost less per issue, and fix this discrepancy.
In the meantime, some magazines let you buy PDFs directly from them (at a lower-than-print price), which you can sideload onto the NC. I'm planning to do that with at least one of my present mags, possibly two, and see how things go.
Well, I guess from the responses that no one here has actually tried to directly convert a print subscription to digital... except me...
