I do the same thing. I've been looking for an allied detachment for my Tau army for quite some time and, before finally deciding on some Raven Guard space marines, I would pop in and browse the codexes of the armies I was considering at the time.

I understand why they shrink wrap the White Dwarf magazines but I think the codexes should remain unwrapped. Having said that I'm sure there's a reason for wrapping them up. My guess is too many people are coming in with camera phones snapping pics of stat lines and wargear so that they don't have to pay the full price for the book.
