Edit: Never mind. I saw the "fetch news" tab at the top and New Scientist is listed as a perodical. I'm downloading it now and I assume I'll just have to upload it to my ereader and that should be it.

It doesn't let you read the magazine exactly: it lets you read the articles referenced in NewScientist.com RSS feeds (NewScientist.com corresponds to New Scientist magazines' online presence and shares content).
As Wikipedia puts it, "RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format." In this case, featured New Scientist articles.
It is doubtful you would get full articles that NewScientist.com requires you to buy a subscription to view, however. They've got to give us encouragement to pay somehow!
