Perhaps in Spanish it means that. But in English queue is a line of something. So, you can queue up books/documents to read.

Of course, if they called it the Queue they couldn't trademark it.

BTW: Teleread recently has a post about the silly names of all the readers. After I read the post I shook my head at the time I wasted reading it. Google, Yahoo, Wii, Microsoft, Apple are all STUPID names too. But, we know what they are and what they refer to. Isn't that all that is important.
