Windows isn't a workaround for everything

For those of you that might have forgotten, magazines and newspapers are tied to a device. If you read one on your Kindle, you cannot read it in Kindle for PC. (You can perhaps change the subscription to that device, but then you can't read it on the Kindle.) This is different than how they deal with books, which you can read on any device (up to the limit).

Don't be misled by the "download" button for newspapers and magazines; this will just give you a file for your *Kindle's* DRM, not the PC's.

Personally, I just want assurance that my purchase will be there for me long-term. I like to look back at old editions of magazines sometime, and I have no intention of doing anything illegal. It's frustrating how Amazon treats me as some sort of thief.

Now, perhaps you could change all your subscriptions to the PC, de-DRM them, and them copy them to the Kindle de-DRM'd... but that's a lot of hassle.
