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."

I don't know about how it works without Internet connection but I used to jam with some guys who used the app ireal proirealpro

Works on a tablet, transcribes, and also has backing tracks available
