Don't. They're probably isn't very many of them. Springer is one of the better publishers with regards to libraries. When you get a digital copy from a university library from Springer it's not DRM encumbered so you can use it forever. And they often let you choose between ePub and PDF.
For a lot of most of what they publish you don't want anything BUT the PDF or print replica anyways. Anything with equations is instantly ruined because they do that typical thing of replacing equations with images which don't resize anyways and usually cause the book to take up more space than the PDF.
