Never used one. A while ago I was thinking about getting one of the editions of The Real Book, but never got around to it. Considering that I don’t have much time to play, it would have been just money burnt anyway.

Hal Leonard has Digital books now but you also can us the digital book when you have a Hal Leonard book with a code in it.
Does anybody uses digital book from Hal Leonard?

Not from Hal Leonard, but I have some others. They are just PDF versions of the physical book. They are fine for printing but not really screen friendly.

I imagine the Hal Leonard ones are the same.

Cheers,

Sadly you can’t print the digital book from Hal Leonard.

Does anybody have books like that?
If yes, how are they?
