Upcoming changes to work downloads

Soon we'll be replacing our current method for generating work downloads with the Calibre command line interface. Our current patchwork system of third-party tools and custom code comes with a number of bugs and limitations, and moving to a well-maintained and documented application like Calibre will enable us to better maintain and even enhance the download feature going forward.

Because this is an entirely new system, there will be some differences between old and new files. We've provided an overview of these changes and some previews below, but we're still testing these changes, so there may be some minor differences between the previews and the final versions. Additionally, exactly how a file looks and behaves may vary depending on your device, software version, and settings.
