I did put a book-character in a story once, a grimore. It had feet, but didn't move until the very end anyhow.
Also, body =/= motion and motion =/= character. It often seems that way because almost all characters are mobile humans. But some humans are not mobile, and some characters are neither human nor mobile. In such cases, the different perspective shapes the story into something new and memorable, if handled well.
One might, for instance, imagine that a book experiences life through its readers in some fashion.
Hmm...
