J.D Salinger's son Matt has signed to publish his father's famous books in e-book versions, Engadget reports.
Famed classics like The Catcher in the Rye and Franny and Zooey, will soon be available on e-readers later this week, even though Salinger had been against technology since the very beginning. He was also against having any of his work remade into any other versions like audiobooks. As such these books will not be made into audiobooks, even though Matt considered the idea.
Salinger's son felt that these books are relevant in today's time and felt it was important to have them published electronically.
He told the New York Times that many people are only reading on phones and tablets and if these books were not available online then many people may never read them ever.
