Well, that estimate is down from the pre-iPad release estimates of 4.03 million.
(At the time, they estimated iPad sales at 1.6 million.)

Still, 3.5 million is plenty good. And iPad cannibalization looks to be minimal (<14%)

BTW, that article has otherwise been right on the money; they predicted 3G readers hitting $199 and WiFi readers hitting $149 back in January.
