2010 sounds about right.
At times I think of ebooks being similar to audiobooks as far as availability history.
With audiobooks for a long time you had sporadic releases of new stuff while backcatalog releases were rare. Now there are tons of audiobooks coming out of older titles and where series were only getting current releases companies are now going back and filling in the earlier titles.
Now with ebooks we seem to be hitting a point where a majority of new releases are getting ebooks and publishers, in the past year or so, seem to be making a better effort to start putting out their backcatalog.
There's a long way to go and some publishers "get it" better than others (some :cough: Macmillan) seem to barely "get it" at all. Hopefully that'll change, but the market truly does seem to finally be getting real traction.
