I believe it says that because it does have the storage capacity to store that many books. It doesn't say the it works at peak performance with 3500 books.

Kind of like a car company that says this car can go from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds. They are not suggesting that is how you drive to work every day, they are just letting you know that it's possible. The maximum. It's marketing.

I just bought a portable hard drive. On the box it say stores up to 250,000 songs. But doing the math, to store 250,000 songs, I'd have to rip the music at a lower bit rate than I'd like, so there is no way i'm ever going to get 250,000 songs on there...not that I have 250,000 songs. But they are absolutely correct. It's POSSIBLE
