Maybe it's different in Canada... but there's stuff on Netflix streaming that's a lot newer than two years old. Although how new depends on whether you're considering theatrical release date or DVD release date.

A few new examples of movies on Netflix that are relatively new:

Super 8 (Theatrical: June 2011, DVD: November 2011)
Kung Fu Panda 2 (T: May 2011, DVD: Decemer 2011)
Midnight in Paris (T: June 2011, DVD: December 2011)

Other titles I'm pretty sure are new: Captain America, Rango, Transformers 3...

Using Netflix as a template and if we consider the DVD release to be the same thing as a paperback publication, a Netflix-like book service should be able to release e-books within 4-5 months of the paperback publication date.

I have no idea if using Netflix as a template is at all realistic, but since that's what we were doing I figured we should have accurate data.
