Hello and for celebrating my new account I would like to make a question to you all.

Now, I know there is not a definite ruling for this and varies from tournament to tournament, but are supplements which have been published but are only in digital format considered tournament legal? Of course as there is not a definite ruling so I am more interested from the opinions of the community, because allowing them in a tournament could give the players with the suppliments unfair advantage as a army with more options is stronger than army with less options, and not everybody has an Ipad or a similar device. Although the digital supplements can be considered also as a positive thing with giving the tournaments more variation to them. I would like to hear your reasons also and thanks for your answers. (If there has been a resent thread please give me a link.)

Absolutely. Assuming they were released in the correct time frame, ie 30 days prior to the tournament or whatever the TO ruled.

I've played my Farsight Enclave in a half dozen tournaments before they got their physical book, no one batted an eye. I"m taking them to the Renegade Open GT next weekend, all of the Supplements are legal there with the possible exception for Sentinels of Terra based on their release date.

So long as you can show your opponent the supplement, there should be no issue. But, TOs make the rules.

They don't need to. Only the person bringing the list needs to have a copy of the relevant supplement for their opponents to check.

I don't have an Ork Codex personally, but that doesn't make Orks Tournament-"illegal".

All that is asked, usually, is that people who bring an Ork list also bring an Ork Codex for opponents to look at if needed. Same should go for digital codexes, no?

The fact that they have released them for more than just iDevices means that anyone can get them, and the black library license allowed you to print one out.

I see no issues whatsoever.

If TO says legal; legal.

If TO says illegal; illegal.

You could of course have a debate on whether or not they should be legal, but whether or not they are depends on what the rules pack for the tournament in question states.
