I'm afraid that even if you restrict yourself to commercial publishers, it's still incorrect to say that there weren't any ebooks 10 years ago. Baen, to name but one commercial publisher, have been publishing ebooks since the late 1990s. I know, because I've been buying them since then.
Here, for example, is a partial list of the ebooks that they published in 1999:

("Partial" because most of the books they published then are no longer available. The list just includes the ones that you can still buy today.)
