What is the difference between 'abridged' and 'unabridged' titles?
An abridged audiobook is a shortened version of the original. It may be condensed due to time constraints, or, in some cases, due to content. Abridged audiobooks may have sections of the book removed, although they do intend to stay within the "spirit" of the original writing. Unabridged audiobooks contain the book in its entirety, exactly as it is written. No content is edited or omitted. Readers are listening to the book precisely as the author intended it to be heard.

What is an MP3CD?
"MP3CD's" allow you to play your audiobook on any modern-day CD Player that is compatible with this specific format. Often, CD players will be labeled with verbiage such as: "MP3 enabled" or "MP3CD compatible."
Most home DVD/Blu-Ray players are compatible with this format, in addition to many modern-day Car Audio CD players. Desktop and Laptop CD/DVD/Blu-Ray players usually are able to read these formats as well. Other MP3CD compatible devices include certain video game systems such as the Microsoft Xbox 360, Xbox One or the Sony Playstation 3 & 4, and the Nintendo Wii & Wii U.
It should be noted that not all CD players are compatible with this format and may result in a "Read Error" or "Disc Blank" error. If you encounter this, it is suggested to try another CD Player that is known to be MP3CD compatible. The manufacturer’s manual and specification section for your specific model will be able to provide additional information about disc compatibility.
The MP3 file format makes it possible to store an average-sized book on just one CD. The overall cost is reduced, and the necessity of several "disc swaps" is eliminated.
