Two comments for the maker of HM:
-It took me a while to figure out what HM was. You should have an About section or something on your website. I needed to click through to the first PDF before I saw the box about HM being a collection of articles featured on HN.
-Is it possible to set up a subscription on MagCloud? I don't see the option anywhere, but ideally I'd like to just have the magazine arrive at my door every month without me having to do anything. Like a "real" magazine. I don't care if it charges my card every month, or for a full year upfront.

AMZ does have a self-publish service, so it would be up to bearwithclaws (who's behind the HN magazine) to do it.
OTOH, he'd have to deal with getting it in the right format himself (right now, we do it as a courtesy for listing it on Fifobooks.com), and he'd get a worse deal in terms of costs, rights, and royalties, etc.
