Describe the Feature/Enhancement

This is using the Android app:
Some of my older books have pdf and ebook versions as well as the audiobook. One of my family members wanted to just read the epub version of the book but the download button downloads all the library files.

Could we download just the files we're interested in like with the web client?

Why would this be helpful?

It would help people with metered connections/slow internet or small storage space to only get the media they need. It would also allow offline reading without having to download all versions of a book, especially nice if you keep higher quality pdfs/audio.

It would also mean we didn't have to go delete the local files we arent interested in each time we download a book.
