Jon, I'm more of a facilitator and quasi-den mother than I am a rule maker. The main goal of the 2012 Reading Challenge is for the participants to chose their own individual goals, and therefore set their own rules as to how to reach said goals.
I want this to be a fun experience for all involved.
As to my personal opinions:
Abridged vs unabridged: If I were keeping score, abridged would not count, or at the very least, it would lose marks. Unabridged is definitely preferred because, by definition, it is the author's "complete" work.
On audio books: I have never listened to an audio book in my adult life. In fact, the last one was probably a book on cassette in grade school. I have just recently, however, downloaded one as a free KSO offer from Audibles.com. I will reserve my feelings on this until after I have actually experienced an audio book.
