Funnily enough, I was watching the Flash-animated 'history of the Doctor' on the BBC website yesterday. It noted that there were many stories, often contradictory, told about the Eighth Doctor, but the damage caused by the Time War means that it's impossible to know what's true and what's merely legend.
Which seems like a useful way to deal with the whole shemozzle.
I also recall RTD saying in an interview that if the EDAs were regarded as canon, then Gallifrey would end up being destroyed twice, and not even the Time Lords would manage that.
For me, the hardest part of reconciling books, audios and TV canon is the Romana Problem -- in the EDAs she regenerates into a sex-crazed harpie malevolent flapper; in the audios she's still ... the original. Well, not the original, but you know, the second model.
