Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, if I start downloading a book and I want to cancel, there is no way to do it except by going into my notification shade (android) and expanding the downloads notification to hit cancel.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice if there is a cancel button in the app on the item's description page (same place where you start a download from). For example, the orange icon that shows a book is being downloaded can be pressed again to show a modal that asks, "do you want to cancel this download? yes/no" would be a good feature.

Describe alternatives you've considered

This would be very useful. If this were to be implemented, there should be some cleanup of partially downloaded books.
