I'm not sure if this will help but I was curious so I just bought the current issue of Asimov's on my Paperwhite. It just downloaded and I've browsed through it a little and it seems just fine. It's definitely not a PDF. It reads with features similar to reading a book on the Kindle. The exact same control of fonts, etc. There's no scrolling like with a PDF.

I also tried to download it in Kindle for PC and saw no way to do that. I'm not really sure I care. It was just an experiment.

I also downloaded it to the Kindle app on my phone. Here it's a little more magazine-like till I get to an article and then it tells me to double tap to read. When I do it gives me a normal reading page just like a book would.

On both the Kindle and the Kindle app reading is just fine. No different than a book.

I'm not sure how I'd go about getting it into Calibre but on the devices itself it's a good reading experience.
