You'll find your eBookshelf under your account information (note that you must be LOGGED IN in order to see this) in the Channel "My Bookshelf".

DRM and watermarking

SpringerNature strongly believes that the value of content is maximized if usage restrictions are kept to a minimum. Therefore SpringerNature eBooks do not employ hard Digital Right Management (DRM). Instead our eBooks are individually watermarked outside of the text area, causing no limitation to the usability of the file. There is also an invisible watermark. The main benefit is that SpringerNature eBooks can be used on all reading devices.

Using eBooks on other reading device (i.e. iPad, Kindle, Kobo)

Please save the file on your device. You may now transfer it to (or synchronize it with) any external reading device. You can also access the eBookshelf with any connected device. However, please note that ePub files can't be used on the Kindle.
