Well... sort-of yes and sort-of no. Baen is an independent business, and as such they aren't 'major.' On the other hand, in practice Baen is the SF/Fantasy line for Simon&Schuster. In that context, they are the 2nd largest player in the SF/Fantasy market (after Tor). Other publishers certainly notice their success in the eBook world. Especially since Baen is the ONLY fiction publisher with a substantial fraction of their sales coming from eBooks. (Caveat: I'm not familiar with recent results from the Romance novel market. This may have changed...)
