Your list of how a computer is more like a Universe than a book has three or four items.
Now enumerate all the traits that the Universe has that neither a book nor a computer has. Qualia, consciousness, time, gravity, electromagnetism, life, among infinite other differences. The list is literally infinite.
The gulf between the Universe and a book is the same magnitude as that between the Universe and a computer.
And sure, books are static once printed and need an observer to run, but that doesn't mean books will always need this.

A book is a large amount of organized text. That's the definition of a book. If you changed into into something that could also read the text, it would no longer be just a book.
