The participants in this forum were listeners and publishers and narrators and there was a lot of detailed discussion about the various issues and problems they encountered in converting a printed work to an audiobook.

I can see where you'd leave things out if the audiobook is done as a performance, but not if it's a simple reading. I'd think a reading would use all the words, wouldn't it?
I'd love to hear about some of the "tricks of the trade" in recording books.
