It depends a lot on the magazine of course, but most mainstream magazines are heavily subsidised by the advertising they carry. Digital versions rarey match that level of advertising revenue, and still have to be edited and formatted for e-readers - so they cost more to produce over the price of the original magazine, and bring in less revenue.
