I'm not sure about extra clicks being involved in comparison to what you do now, but I was just throwing it out there as an option, it seems less complex to me than managing six lists and you do not have to bother with ordering the lists if as you say the lists are kept small.
However if you don't want to do that, no problem, it was just a suggestion to your question about workflows. To answer your question about why the Move to list option is not on the main library view, it was because of the fact that unless you are viewing a list there is no guarantees about the book being clicked actually being on the supposed list you are moving "from" or that it is on any list at all. Since it is entirely possible that the user has no visible cues as to if a book is on a particular list (depending on their tagging strategy with the lists).
When I very first read your original post, I thought you were wanting some sort of complicated workflow state associations driven from values in custom columns etc. Though may have just been an imperssion from what davidfor posted which was more explicitly around that. Its a direction I would prefer to avoid going in.
However if indeed as per your latest post you simply want the Move option to be enabled on the library view that is something more reasonable. Just thinking out loud but presumably it would display a dialog with a left side list representing all the (modifiable) lists common to your selected book(s) that they currently exist on, and the right side containing all the (modifiable) lists you could possibly transfer to. You could multi-select on either side and job done...
