Japanese Magazines

A bunch of saucy magazines that one can usually pick up from any convenient store. I notice some of these going for only 390 yen that includes a DVD packed with hanky panky. Which of these would you choose to go with the milk?
When I was a wee lad back in the UK, I had to go to either 1 of 2 Japanese book shops in London to pick up Japanese magazines. They were quite expensive too but were my only gateway to Japanese culture back then without the Internets. A photo of some of the mags I bought at the time in this post.
These days I usually just read the magazine samples that arrive at the office - everything from fashion, anime, hobby and ones filled with very cute...girls.
Does any of your reading include any Japanese magazines and if so which ones and where do you buy them? They be costing you a spleen and a right toe?
Any of you reading any of the free Japanese magazines available for your iPad or iPhone? If you want to look for some then search for the Japanese keyword "雑誌" meaning "Magazine."
If you don't have a Japanese iTunes account, all you have to do is add an app to download that costs 0 yen and when you proceed to register, just stick in any Japanese address (which you can copy from any company website ^^) and then you will see a new payment option which I think is called "none." Complete the registration and you are now the owner of a Japanese iTunes account - and you didn't need a Japanese credit card to make it either.
