I didn't think Stan was folding. But, I didn't think Stan wanted to work too hard, either. The Camsing deal would have let him cruise for the rest of his life, working whenever he wanted, since they would pay expenses.
Now, with his wife gone, Stan might work harder than ever, just for something to do.
I like the Audible deal as a first step towards more work with Amazon.com (Audible is an Amazon.com company as is IMDb).
