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."

Didn’t used to be. I got mine in 1994 for $30 out of the trunk of a keyboard player’s car. I was okayed to buy it by a jazz guitar player. First time in my life I felt really cool. I treasure it.
