Describe the Feature/Enhancement

A button to download ebook files separate from the audiobook files.

Why would this be helpful?

Currently on the Android app, I have to download all files to cache them locally. It'd be nice to be able to download the ebook only.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Same as the web UI would be ok (under the files section)

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.9.79

Sorry about that, searched "download" in the issues and just missed it.
