The rule for downloading old games for emulators is if you own the game and the system it is perfectly legal to have them. Does the same rule apply to audio books where if you have got the book (e.g paperback or hardback) can you then download for free the audio books.
No, it isn’t legal to download a free audio book of a book that is still copyrighted, even if you do own the book.
It is legal to download books that are no longer copyrighted (the copyright has expired) though.
Looking for some free audio books for my mp3 player. Preferably stuff written in the last 10-20 years. Big fan of the Harry Potter series.

I love to listen to audio books and wonder if the Nook is capable of downloading audio books & music? Thanks in advance!
The Nook allow you to listen to music. But if you like to listen to audio books I’ll suggest you the Kindle because it has the text-to-speech function, which means the ebooks you bought it can read to you. The Kindle can play music at background as well, when you’re reading books.
I’ve given a detailed comparison between the Nook and the Kindle previously, in another answer here. Guess it’ll help you decide which one to choose:

And recently, Amazon has announced an upgrade to its Kindle, to secure their market shares. See here for the update details:

I get free songs, but where can I get the free audio books?
Its not piarted. It’s just the sound from Youtube. I have a converter!!!
Jeez, pirating virus-riddled music just isn’t enough for some people.
I am looking for a website where I can pay to stream or download Audio Books. Does anybody know of such a site? More so of popular audio books of fiction/sci-fi/fantasy works that I would find in any good book shop.
Thanks for any help here.
Most publishers are not willing to give audio books away for free. The author needs to be paid, the sound engineers, and the actor that reads the book.
Audible is about the best you can do.
My mom doesn’t have a mp3 player and she was trying to find a site for the downloads so she doesn’t have to uncomfortably sit up and read off th computer..I would really appreciate it…
There also may be something that interest her from the Internet Archives site.
Everything is free and/or public domain.

Scroll down a little to Sub-Collections and choose Audio Books and Poetry.
Many you don’t have to download, you can stream right from the website, but there is also the download capability.
There is also sites like http://www.learnoutloud.com/Catalog/Arts-and-Entertainment/Full-Cast-Dramatization
Some files are free, some may cost as much as a hard bound book.

The audio book that i can’t find is on "The Pearl", by John Steinbeck… but when i do find them the books are usually only parts…
http://www.gutenberg.org
Steinbeck’s work is still under copyright, which is why you legally only find portions of The Pearl.
http://www.johnsteinbeck.com
I went to ‘links’ here, of which there are many. I followed a few, but they either no longer exist or aren’t what you want.
http://www.enotes.com
enotes is a terrific site, from which I get much info and you could too, BUT it costs. I pay a monthly fee. For a 90 day trial, you still have to pay $7.95, but if you have a lot of lit work to do, it’s worth it.
http://www.amazon.com
There are 10 new and used audiobooks of The Pearl here for $7.07…
*And there will be free audiobooks of this at your public library.*
