I usually have maybe 1000-2000 unread paper books. If you read only 100 books a year than you will easily read 3500 books.
The point with having access to a lot of books is that you can choose what to read depending on the current situation. But it is unnecessary to have the books on the reader. It is enough to be able to download them.
A reason to buy a book now is that it might not be available later. And since tastes changes it is reasonable to buy widely if you are reading a genre.
