Little League Manual

Two years ago, I was able to purchase the LL Rule books as an app that worked great.  It was very easy to search for words and scroll through pages.

Now, book-apps are no longer available. I have to sign up in the LL Umpire Registry ($25) where I get Baseball and Softball rule books downloadable as a PDF.

I'm probably missing something, but I can only view the PDF's in Google Books and is very cumbersome and doesn't allow me to search or scroll through anything.

What am I missing?  Or is this just a lame step backwards for LL e-books?

FREE. I have used it for ALL BB Rules in .pdf two years and no issues :-)

I mis-spoke.  I can't download the rules in PDF.

It's only downloadable as an e-book --similar to Kindle--and only works in Google Books. 

I guess I'm looking for anyone that has figures a workaround to get an electronic copy of the LL rules that is searchable.

Download Calibre and Kindle. Use calbre to convert th LL epub to mobi. PITA.

They do sell a Kindle edition for $5:

Which doesn't address the issue that they ought to be giving it for free to those who volunteer for them, but I digress.   (And I know..."you get what you pay for" and "if you're good at something, never do it for free" apply.)

i still use the app almost daily. Definitely getting my 20 bucks worth... I am wondering if LL is going to renumber the rule book to match OBR, and that's why they didn't offer it this year.....
