An option to download as images, in a structured way (or at least keep the temp)

First of all, awesome project. This produces the highest quality file from Mangadex to Kindle, which is awesome.

TL;DR: an option to save to images in a structured directory

My use case is that I want to use Send To Kindle (STK) feature. It doesn't allow azw3 file, so I have to convert azw3 file to epub. However, this converted epub file will add a huge white margin to top & bottom because of Send To Kindle conversion.

To circumvent this, I have to download the whole manga and structure it this way:

.
└── Manga Title
    └── cover.jpg
    └── Volume 1: Vol Title
        └── Chapter 1: Chapter Title
            └── 1.jpg
            └── 2.jpg
            └── 3.jpg
            └── ...

Then use https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc/ to convert it to epub, then use Send To Kindle (STK). KCC is the only tool that produces an epub file that has no white spaces after STK.

I'm using another tool to download, however I think kojirou is the best right now.

It would be great if we have an option to just save temp files before packing it to azw3 file. I can write my own tool to manage the directory structure and convert.

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion and contribution. However, I am not sure if this is something I would like to add to this project.

As far as I know, there are many good MangaDex downloaders that will output image files in the specified directory layout, which tools like KCC can then use to generate e-books. Why do you think something like this should also be added to Kojirou?

The only one that I'm aware of is https://github.com/mansuf/mangadex-downloader, but it's a lot slower since it's not using async to download.

This can be an option for Kojirou, just to save raw/temp images. Also it can be reused for --disk option.
