  • 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.
Great, thanks so much. With that info, when I sign up for the free trial I can get a book I want to keep, rather than something to consider as a one-time read. Too bad the file quality is so low, though.
