I honestly think that 10 years or so, nobody on the planet will give the even the slightest thought about publishing houses big or small. The model will have moved on, because publishing will no longer require that you own or control factories full of printing presses and fleets of trucks to move the books around the country.
The recent flood of new devices and price drops for eReaders is going to be an extinction event for the big publishers.
