I also remember the Readers Digest hardcover volumes of abridged print books. I remember my father bringing home a big box of those that someone gave him. I and my mother were the big readers of the family. I must have been in high school, and had no idea what I was missing by reading those. I'm not sure if my mom ever touched them. I can't remember the last time I saw an abridged print book.
While I rarely see abridged audio and ebooks, I see abridged roads quite often; usually over rivers
