I read storylines in some of the books I'd like to have seen explored in a film or two, but I can see why they did what they did. If they'd have followed the storyline in the books, they'd have been making that storyline canon. This would have upset those fans who preferred other storylines, and they'd have complained their favourite storyline was being ignored. Also, the writing team behind the film would have to scrutinise all the books to ensure they don't contradict any details from any of them, which would not really have been practical.
It's much easier to ignore all of it.

Possibly not, but apparently Gene Roddenberry was actually quite heavily involved in that one.
