I thought members of the list and certainly all academic focused ebook
providers would be interested in this announcement from Springerlink

Springer launches full book download feature

Current trends show that the use of tablets and other mobile devices
on SpringerLink and Springer for R&D is growing exponentially. The
platforms support any device by automatically adjusting the site-setup
to the optimal screen size of the device that is used to visit the
site.

Springer is pleased to introduce the 'full book download
functionality' on SpringerLink and Springer for R&D in response to the
high demand for this feature by our authors, researchers and library
customers. This new functionality allows users to download all
chapters of a book in one go. In addition to this feature, users can
view an eBook on SpringerLink and Springer for R&D through the
LookInside, and download the individual chapters as PDF and/ or HTML
format. The chapter level and full book PDF is available to subscribed
users without restrictions. The LookInside always shows some sample
pages to unsubscribed users, and the full chapter to subscribed users.
