Adding the --dl_chapters argument will download all books in chapters by scraping the webpage of the original book for PDF links. Please, I don't have a ton of experience working in groups, so would love constructive feedback. Thanks!

Forgot to mention, only supports PDF

Hi @zmacks, I really liked this option. But it would be nice if the chapters were saved in order of appearence (say, putting 01, 02, ..., in front of the title of the chapter in the filename), so it would appear in correct order in the downloaded folder. Can you make this happen? Also, please update the README.MD to show the new option. Thanks.

Thanks @alexgand ! I submitted a new pull request to address those concerns : )
