I reckon 2,000 books would weigh 900 - 1,000 kg (say, just under one tonne). If packed into standard cardboard cartons, they would need 60 cartons, which would almost fill a small room. The logistics of clearing out that number of books is not trivial.
So, how would you get rid of 2,000 books?

Perhaps you didn't read the line where he said he sold or donated 98% of his books.
