There is no website that I know of that has been given copyright privileges to publish any of the NFHS books. They used to be available online to any NFHS member, but announced last year that they were ending the practice due to illegitimate distribution of downloaded books. To my knowledge (which, along with 5.00, will get you into a middle school girls basketball game) they are not available online. If you find somewhere that they are, it seems to me that it would be copyright infringement.
Others may correct me on this.
Best to just keep your books with you where ever you go--work, home, fishing, deer stand, bed--everywhere.

I thought that the NFHS was going to make them available on some type of "app"? Bad news for me because I don't own a smartphone, plus there's always the Connecticut-Basketball-Arbiter-IAABO-NFHS problem to deal with.

There was an app last year to get the NFHS rule book and case book on a smart phone for $6. I just checked...and this year's book is not yet available. But, the volleyball rules are available (as are football, soccer and field hockey.) You do not need to be a NFHS member to buy them.

Do you have to have a smartphone, or can you get the books on a personal computer? I don't have a smartphone, just a stupidphone. Now where did I put my buggy whip?

You need a smartphone. Android only. The app is not available for iPhones or iPads -- yet. It was developed by ArbiterSports for the NFHS.

Details are in this NFHS press release.
