‘2001’ makes it to e-book edition

NEW YORK — The science fiction of Arthur C. Clarke has finally reached the next dimension in the U.S. — e-books.

The late author’s estate has a deal with digital publisher RosettaBooks to release “2001: A Space Odyssey” and 34 other works. Clarke’s books already are available electronically in his native Britain. Other Clarke ebooks in the U.S. include his “Rama” and “Vanamonde” series and the novels “Childhood’s End” and “Sands of Mars.” Clarke died in 2008 at 90.
