Are any of the books abridged? I read that the footnotes and things don't tend to be nicely linked, but other than that, is there significant printed content missing from the Kindle editions?

One reason I got the Kindle is that I have avoided buying new releases for ages, as I couldn't stomach paying full $24.99 for an e-version of a bestseller, when it was costing the publisher and distributor basically 0 to make (since all books are digital before they get printed, now). $9.99 is a huge savings over that. But now, am I going to be reading the Reader's Digest Condensed version?
