That depends on your definition of market position. Sure, ebooks they didn't have a whole lot, but they had other forms of entertainment (e.g. music). Digital music in iTunes has and had a big chunk of the market - not a monopoly, but neither does Amazon have one. Apple bullied their way into ebooks by leaning against the publishers with their weight of success with music.
