Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Right now, to download a book to your phone, you need to open it in the library view, and then select download.

I would suggest that on the library view, a long press on an audiobook opens a multi-select mode (same as the radio button in the web gui) to select multiple books, enabling a "download" button to batch queue downloads.

(This would then also apply to the downloaded content view for deletion I assume).

Why would this be helpful?

If you want to keep a big library available offline, you need to do a lot of individual clicking to download books one by one.
