I doubt there is a single date. It varies by publisher.
I'd guess from what people are saying on this list that most
publishers are only putting new books in. However there have been
reports of older books sometimes being replaced almost certainly into
the 1990s.
In terms of ebook publication (as opposed to making books available to
bookshare in epub format), very few publishers are going into their
backlist and putting out ebooks of out of print books unless something
has happened to make the publisher think people might be looking for
older works by the particular writer (like when they win a prize or die).
I've been hoping to get ebooks of some of my tattered old paperbacks,
but have had few opportunities to do that. So, ones that are not in the
bookshare collection I have been scanning.

Hi Evan and everyone!
Does anyone know what the earliest year is at this time for
publisher-donated ebooks? That information would help me decide what
is an "older book". Thanks.

And even for publishers that Bookshare does get books from, it is
worthwhile to look into their older books. Lissi and I will be
shortly adding a book from Simon & Schuster that was published back
in 1995. It's very unlikely that that will be sent in by the publisher.
