[FRIAM] Free online Springer books

[Gary Schiltz]

I rather hate to admit it, but a good part of my preference for electronic
versions of information these days is highly related to my lack of good
reading glasses, which is in turn related to my laziness when it comes to
getting out to buy some. Here in EC, I can't just go to the drug store to
buy cheapies,
I would have to actually go to an optometrist (5 hour round trip), get an
exam, go back a week later, and pick them up. With e-books, I can just
change to a bigger font and/or zoom. Plus, I can read in the dark.
