I suppose books in general are less immediate in many ways. Another example would be that my CDs and records are scrupulously alphabetical, mainly so that I know where everything is - because if I want to listen to a given song I want it NOW. Whereas the books are on a looser, more intuitive system - because if I want to read a given book, I want to read it sometime vaguely soonish.
