</div>One of my clients' - West Bengal University of Technology, are<br>
subscribed to Springer ebooks for copyright years 2005, 2006 and 2007,<br>
approx 13k of ebooks. Never faced any problem with importing the<br>
Springer Marc21 records from their site into my client's Koha<br>
installation. The DOI links in the Springer Marc file are preserved as<br>
the URI sub-tag `u` of 956 of each individual ebook record.<br>
<br>
So an user browsing the OPAC can click the link and will be taken to<br>
the content on Springer site (my client uses campus IP based<br>
authentication).<br>

</div>From my experience, it just works, however YMMV<br>
<br>
hth :)<br>
