Springer Nature's broad range of innovative products include:
eBooks
What is an eBook?
- An eBook is a book in digital form, which can be read on various electronic devices. A Springer Nature eBook is identical to the print version.
- Institutions have the opportunity to purchase eBook packages. More information can be found on our eBook collections site. Unfortunately, it is not possible for private customers to purchase eBook packages.
Which eBook formats does Springer Nature offer?
- Springer Nature eBooks are currently available for purchase in PDF and sometimes EPUB format.
- If an eBook is available in PDF and EPUB formats, both will become available for download upon purchase.
- Both formats can be used and read on various digital devices, including mobile phones.
- EPUB is designed for reflowable content, meaning that an EPUB reader can optimize text for a particular display automatically.
- PDF content is static; pages are displayed identically across devices.
- Full book PDF downloads are not available for eBook titles comprised of over 100 chapters however, all chapters of these titles are still available to download individually for customers who have purchased full access to them.
What is the difference between Living and Static Reference Works?
- Some of Springer Nature’s reference works are published as living references which are online first, real-time snapshots (article collections) of a reference work which is in development or is being updated.
- The living editions are delivered well in advance of the static, printed reference publications, and continuously offer new and up-to-date content.
- Each online-first entry has its own DOI and is fully citable.
- If you need additional information, please click on Living and Static Reference Works.
