The digital form of Late Author Ray Bradbury's Ebooks will finally be  available in UK, reports The Guarding.

Late Author Ray Bradbury was not a big fan of ebooks and often said that digital form of books smelt "like burned fuel." The author, who passed away in June last year, will finally have his works in the form of ebooks available in U.K. this year.

After much  negotiations, the author's publisher, HarperCollins, has announced that three of Bradbury's best-known works, Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles and The Illustrated Man, have just been made available as ebooks. Bradbury has more than 500 short stories credited to his name.

Bradbury expressed his dislike for the Internet in an interview with the New York Times in 2009. According to him, ebooks had no future as they were not actually books. He called them a mere distraction and not real.

"Yahoo called me eight weeks ago," he told the paper. "They wanted to put a book of mine on Yahoo! You know what I told them? 'To hell with you. To hell with you and to hell with the internet.'"

However, in 2011, Bradbury was convinced to sell digital rights of Fahrenheit 451 to his US publisher Harper Collins. Unfortunately, U.K. rights have remained indefinable until now. Harper Voyager commissioning editor Amy McCulloch said she had been "working closely" with Bradbury's representatives "to come up with a digital publication plan that will be best to bring these titles into the digital sphere, and to reach new audiences that have been hungry for more of Mr Bradbury's work".
