I just signed up for the eStories free trial, and here's the answers I have found thus far:
  • If you had previously tried out eMusic's audiobook service, you are still eligible for the free month trial.
  • It looks to me like all books are 1 credit (unlike Downpour, which charges more than 1 for a few titles).
  • You can download the audiobooks through your PC. I got a download link immediately on purchasing my title.
  • The books are DRM-free mp3 format.
  • The only negative I've found so far: the files are all 32 bps - a pretty low quality overall.

My thoughts: I think it's better than audiobooks.com, and on par with Downpour (Downpour has better-quality files, but eStories charges 1 credit for all). I don't compare them to Audible or Nook since they have DRM.
