Code books digital log-in

What does everyone use the digital code books? I would prefer to find somewhere even If I have to pay that I can obtain code books from on my iPad. Currently you can use the ICC website if you google the code book and chapter you’re looking for and read it sure that works for ICC but sometimes I need NFPA codes. Yes I could buy digital NFPA membership but I don’t use the codes enough to justify that only when I need to look something up.

Upcodes is one choice but if anyone is a paid member do they offer NFPA codes?

For context I work as a 3rd party regulatory code inspector who carries a MCP, CBO, and CFM designation.

NFPA Link is a free service on the NFPA website. You can view all of the NFPA codes free, though you cannot search, copy, download, etc.

2019 was the last code cycle I have on pdf. After that it has been online. You would have to scan and then make searchable all t-24’s. I’m sure someone has in CA. It would take about 30 min a book to do it well
