If you're leery of @Sabardeyn's suggestion of setting up each article as it's own ebook, and with 600+ magazines already I can understand why, then you're next best option is probably tagging. You could go one of two routes.
1. Put each article title as it's own tag. ie How To Make An Arts & Crafts Style Table would be a tag all on it's own. You'll end up with a lot of long tags but you'll be able to find the exact article you're looking for.
2. This, I think, would take a bit of work and thought but might be the better way to go. Take a look at the article titles in your magazines and then classify them. ie How To, Artist/Woodworker Profile, Tool Review, etcetera. You can then set up each classification as either it's own tag or use it in conjunction with what the article is about. ie How To: Arts & Crafts Table; Tool Review: XYZ Machine; How To: Refinishing, etcetera. Or a combination of the two - How To; Arts & Crafts Table; How To: Arts & Crafts Table would all be tags.
No system will be perfect right out of the gate. You need to decide how detailed you want to get; how much time you want to spend; and be willing to adjust as you go. I suggest picking 2 to 5 magazines, use a pen and pad to make a list of the articles that are in them and then play with tagging scheme ideas. A little pre-planning can go a long way.
