Mass delete downloads #1043

Problem: It takes a bit too long to clean up downloads. Each deletion is four taps. You have to concentrate, its a chore.

Solution: The ability to select/checkmark those books you wish to delete. Then you press delete and confirm. Additional idea: “select all read”. A button that checks all books marked as finished.

I haven’t considered alternatives, I think this is pretty standard UI. No screenshots needed afaik.

I would rename this feature suggestion to "Select local books to delete" and state it as: in Android App [Home] > scroll down to [Local Books] > long press to select first local book > additional selections > click [ Delete selected local books ].

The OP's Select All suggestion could be revised to: [Select All] > Select all books marked read or all downloaded books? however this would probably require a "local books" section of the top menu [home / library / ... / authors / local books ]

Adding support for a shortcut to 'swipe left to expose delete button, tap button to delete' workflow in the Settings>Downloads section would speed up this process
