Why caring a body and moving with it is not a work done

Why :​

Work done on an object is equal to

FDcos(angle).

So, naturally, if you lift a book from the floor on top of the table you do work on it since you are applying a force through a distance.

However, I often see the example of carrying a book through a horizontal distance is not work. The reasoning given is this: The force you apply is in the vertical distance, countering gravity and thus not in the direction of motion.

But surely you must be applying a force (and thus work) in the horizontal direction as the book would stop due to air friction if not for your fingers?

Is applying a force through a distance only work if causes an acceleration? That wouldn't make sense in my mind. If you are dragging a sled through snow, you are still doing work on it, since the force is in the direction of motion. This goes even if velocity is constant due to friction.
