Describe the Feature/Enhancement
When files are downloaded to "Local Books" and I disconnect from the server, for any reason, they are currently displayed in the AudioBookShelf App in a single long line of files. I'd love to be able to have the series and library views for those downloaded files instead of trying to find the downloaded files somewhere in the sideways scrolling list.
Why would this be helpful?
I believe it would be useful for locating the current downloaded books that I have on my device. Personally, I would love to have my books that I have in my server all downloaded to my device within the app, but with the current display for downloaded files, I'm refraining from doing this.
Future Implementation (Screenshot)
What I'm describing is just allowing the app to continue it's library and series pages it has while connected to the server to still show the books I've downloaded while offline.
Audiobookshelf App Version
Android App - 0.11.0
