For myself, that's not quite true. Of current players (leaving aside memories of the old Ace doubles, or those yellow-spined DAW paperbacks) I started noticing and caring when Macmillan (well, their Tor imprint) published a book long before the current brouhaha erupted, for reasons not entirely alien to the reason I notice when an author publishes a new book at Baen: when PC Hodgell's next book was announced as coming from Baen, my first thought was 'Great, I'll be able to buy it the day it releases.' When Dave Duncan announced his latest book was coming from Tor, my first thought was 'Damn, I guess I'm never going to have a chance to read it, since they almost never release e-books.'
