Nope. Did not work with e-mail. If I use USB I might as well delete manually.
Exactly what you were told would happen.

You might want to consider using the calibre content server. This isn't as convenient as email, but you can grab the file on the run via wireless and it should still be a periodical when it enters your device.

Or can you email it to your email (non-Amazon) account and grab it from the web?

True (Touch and Fire), I don't know why Amazon keeps making things so difficult. I guess they're just following Apple's example.
