Baen's Universe is an electronic only Sci-Fi short story magazine available for $5 per issue (I think), and last I looked, most issues were longer than most novels. Universe apparently pays more per word than traditional paper magazines because they have no printing costs, and each issue features and antiDRM column/rant from Eric Flint.

Fictionwise has Asimov, Analog, Ellery Queen and Alfred Hitchcock, at $2.99 each (less if you are a club member, whatever that is), and available in .lrf format (among others).

Just FYI.
