in audio books what does unabridged mean?

Just got into the world of audio books but not sure is best to download( for ipod) "unabridge" books or books that have nothing next to them as there’s a price difference.

Unabridged is the complete original, uncut.

A lot of audiobooks cover the main points of the book. If you want the entire book, be sure it says unabridged.

    "Abridged" means edited down to make it shorter. You would be missing half of it.

    "Unabridged" would be the full text.

    Abridged means condensed version (edited to be shorter), so unabridged would conversely mean a full (unedited) version.
