I use the (cover) Imprint in the Publisher column of Calibre as I started with my Paperback collection.
I had not realized that so many oldies had been sucked up by the big-5.
(or were they always part of the 5, and got their own branding. Baen, DAW. Del Rey ).

No, sucked up.

Also Amazon is missing on that. They have been buying up publishers and retailers. Also they are pseudo-publishers (CreateSpace/Paper, KDP, KDP-Select-for-KU, which the actual big publishers don't use).

I though that while Baen is distributed by Simon & Schuster, they are independent.
