Describe the feature/enhancement

Hey

Absolutely love the project and the impressive work you guys are doing. I know ebooks isn't the main focus but it's already very good for that purpose and there is a single feature that is holding it back for my group. This might go under other requests but i was unsure and are posting this just in case, feel free to remove it if not.

Sometimes it's hard to find full volumes of a comic book run or stuff like Humble Bundles gives you individual issues. when this happens it's a proper hassle to match up to 100's of individual issues so i rather combine them in folders as such they would with the volumes and match them according to that.

But the problem is that there is no way to let ABS let you read a single issue and then continue onto the next one when they are bundled like this. The only way as of now is for an admin to go in and manually switch the primary issue, wich doesn't work if there are multible people reading it and are at different points. So a good fix would be for a toggle or setting somewhere on the book that you can turn on to indicate that these files are to be read after eachother like the app already does with Audiobooks where the chapters are their own files. So you read one issue and it automaticly goes to the next issue inside that volume when you continue. iodeally counting them all as 100% of the progress.

Related to #2338

With the current setup an ebook library item is only meant to have a single ebook file. So in your case each of those cbz files should be in their own folder on your file system.
This isn't ideal for comics so I think they will be made into their own media type as mentioned in #2338
