Does anyone know of any apps or websites suitable for the iPad to download/ view magazines???

What kind of magazines?

The Padder app appears to be giving away their magazines which are all about the iPad.

Nearly all magazine apps are free. Just goto the newsstand store.

Well, many of the magazine apps themselves are 'free' but subscriptions to most of the publications will need to be bought - currently, I'm using the Zinio App - have paid subscriptions to PCMag, iPhone, & MotherJones - I also receive Sound&Vision & PCWorld as mail subscriptions but may switch over. The Zinio app works well for me w/ these present subscriptions.

I'm thinking more like fhm, nuts, lads mags. Don't want to subscribe tho!!

Yeah, apps Zinio are good. Or just do a search for 'magazines' in the app store. I purchase several when I choose. Don't bother with subscriptions, just buy individual copies.
