Path, URL, and string parsing/handling #11

These changes retain the original functionality but intelligently parse/manipulate paths and URLs, hopefully making the code more flexible and modular.

Make a dedicated function for parsing a book URL and obtaining the necessary download URL for the desired format (pdf or epub) and the local human-friendly filename.
Clean up path, URL, and string manipulations.
Use file open context manager for safer file writing.

For the sake of simplicity I'll leave the code as it is. Thanks though!
