Yes! I have just submitted a cover to a friend of mine who is a published writer. His publisher is Amazon. He says that he wants to release kindle versions of his books but Amazon told him that they would have to be rewritten and basically abridged for kindle readers. Their logic behind this is kindle readers do not want to sit and read a long book. Now we all know that is bologna, but according to my friend, Amazon says yes! ALL kindle books are cut down and rewritten. But I'm sure you can create an unabridged version for yourself and convert it to .mobi format. I'm sure the software is available somewhere

Not necessarily. Kindle books can be either abridged or unabridged, depending on the version or publisher. It's always a good idea to check the book description or details for information on whether it's an abridged version.
