There are many useful volumes here but one of the most
interesting to me was A Beginners Guide to Python 3 Programming (Hunt),
which unfortunately is illegible. Both epub and pdf are of identical
size as reported by the system (about 13K). Looked at in Emacs it seems
to be some kind of binary index file. The hard copy book is 433 pp. Even
plain text couldn't be compressed that much.
Thanks,

Just passing this along to those that might be interested.
Springer books released for free during the 2020 COVID-19 quarantine. No
idea when this will end.
The list of books can be found here
<a href="https://resource-cms.springernature.com/springer-cms/rest/v1/content/17858272/data/v4">https://resource-cms.springernature.com/springer-cms/rest/v1/content/17858272/data/v4</a>
This GitHub repo has more info (links) and a python script to download
all 409 books, or subsets of them.

Plan on a 4+ hour download window if you want copies of them all,
there's about 14GB. I think the Springer site has throttled the download
speed, I'm only getting ~2.4Mbps.
