I subscribe to both Asimov's and Analog via Barnes & Noble. On the plus side, they are epubs and don't have DRM. On the minus side, I can't download via my browser -- which would be most convenient and does work for most book ebooks I buy there. But, since I have a couple Android tablets, I can get them that way.

By the way, the epub formatting is terrible, in my opinion: stories are displayed in two columns for a start. Plus all the novellas are grouped together, then all the novelletes, then all the shorts, then all the poems, and finally all the editorials. So reading from front to back starts as a very heavy meal that eventually finishes off in a rush towards the end. I can't understand the reasoning behind this.
They show up as single column for me, but they they are sorted by novellas, novelettes, etc., and I navigate via the table of contents.
