I may contact the Asimov's editor and see what she thinks, because she's keen on supporting ereaders. Obviously from her point of view it will affect sales outside the USA.

I am not buying a Kindle just for Asimov's, especially as I have just got a Kobo Glo! There is more to ebooks than Amazon!
You may or may not be in luck. If Asimov's via Amazon are in AZW3 (KF8) then you are most likely good to go.

If you can strip the DRM from Amazon eBooks in Calibre, you do so and use the Mobi_Unpack plugin to shift the AZW3 code over to ePub. You then take the ePub, run it through Flightcrew and fix any errors that come up. Once done, you have it in ePub with little fuss and no Mobipocket in the mix.
