Just finished GOT book 1 audio (unabridged 34 hours). Very little difference between the book and the show. As far as I can tell,

the only significant differences were when Jon Snow has to ask for Samwell to be accepted into the Nights Watch, and the way Daenerys deals with her brother at the end.
In the book, there is no scene where Jorah confronts Viserys as he attempts to take the dragon eggs. Jorah does tell Dany that this happened and she offers to give them to Viserys when he is drunk and asking for his crown.
The long, detailed description of the path to the Eyrie makes it seem even more impossible than it looked on the show.
Sansa was even more clueless and deluded that she appeared on the the show. She totally bought into the fairy tale.
The battle Tyrion was in lasted much longer. I agree they probably cut this to save costs from staging such a huge scene.
