NFHS Membership and digital books question

[The Man in Blue]

I wasn't sure which section to drop this in ...

NFHS continues to claw money away by no longer offering e-book versions of their publications outside of the NFHS app.  Digital books are $6.99 each.  I officiate three sports (baseball, softball, and volleyball), so rulebooks and casebooks come out to roughly $42.  That doesn't include any other manuals.

Membership to NFHS is $35 and provides access to the digital library in the app.  Does that membership provide access to ALL the digital resources?  I'm willing to just kick the $35, but I want to know that I'm getting full access before I do.  Also, can I access the app on my laptop?

Anybody have any experience?

I think it depends on the state. Indiana provides access to the rulebook and casebook through the NFHS app.

Right, I know some states do.  I was considering looking at the cost of registering in a state that does provide access when I noticed NFHS says that is a benefit of paying the $35 to join NFHS (not your state association).  I just want to verify what you get access to before paying them the money.

Our state gave us access to the Rule Book and the Case Book.

You can pay the fee directly to NFHS for access, but then you would still have to pay your fee to the State to work games. I've never paid directly to NFHS and only get access to the sport that I am registered for.
