It would be cool if the magazines could be converted into gopher, and we could read the magazines that way.

That would be trivial to do. The process would go like this:

* Download .pdf from archive.org.
* Upload .pdf to your gopher directory.
* Share URL, something like: gopher://host/9/~user/dir/mag.pdf

On the client side, you could save a local copy of the .pdf to view later
If using lynx you could set up application/pdf in your .mailcap and
.mimetypes to select a PDF viewer, to view it without quitting lynx.
