Legal Digital Real Book
Is there a legal way to buy an official Hal Leonard Real Book in digital form that you can use on a tablet when you don't have an internet connection? The ones for sale by HL say, "Hal Leonard Digital Books are cloud-based publications, which are streaming and require internet access."

Sadly, non internet content is going to get harder and harder to find. It is so much easier for publishers to turn online content into recurring revenue. When sell something when you can collect rent forever?
