I apologize for being naive, but I don't understand this. Are they putting together the best of the month and publishing them? In that case, why do they charge for digital copy? Also, are they paying any license fee for the content? I mean, I don't get the model.

I have been a contributor in two issues. Before an article you have written gets published there you are asked for your permission (and given a few months free of charge of subscription.) Also, the layout design, images and all this is work someone has done, and is an awesome work. After my free months expired, I subscribed. There are always things I miss in Hacker News, reading Hacker Monthly makes sure I read the best (or what the collective intelligence+editors in HM deem the best) in the best reading outline
I sell a book that's a collection of my freely-available blog posts. People like the convenience of having everything in a single file that can easily be read offline, searched, etc. People also like supporting things they read.
I was wondering why this person did not host it on some scalable cloud provider (like dropbox). Looks like the redirect service was broken .... I went through the first link and then just engineered the rest using the issue names. I guessed them from this link http://blog.hackermonthly.com/hn-down.html
These links below seem to be available directly without any authentication.
Thank you so much. I'm particularly grateful that you bundled different file types in the same zip, so I don't have to be like, "let's see -- should I download the MOBI version? Or the PDF version? Or maybe ePub? Wait a minute, I don't have even have a tablet -- why am I having this debate?"
I'd love to get the print edition, but the price is a bit steep. Still, a very cool magazine, I'd love to see it at Coffee Shops/Barnes and Noble type places!
