I have about 2200 books on my Kindle 3, sorted into collections.

I also un-DRM books as they go into Calibre and books are moved onto my Kindle using Calibre rather than the Amazon Archive method. Last time I set a Kindle up I dumped about 1200 books onto it all at once to see what would happen. It took it just about a full day to index them all, but otherwise no problems.

I look at it this way ... being able to carry your "full library" with you is one of the prime advantages of an eReader. If they're going to make one that holds 3500 books, then I'm going to fill it up as much as possible. If it really can't handle that many books without some sort of degradation of the experience - then they shouldn't say it does.
