The 1100-3500 estimation is based on a reasonable 1MB-per-book estimate, which is a little on the large side... for books that are mostly text, which is where e-ink ereaders excel.

Anything larger than 1MB should probably be read on a tablet, unless it is simply one of those giant omnibus/collections that are tens of megabytes simply because they contain 50 books or so -- those are, technically, 50 books in one file.
No side loaded content. No PDFs. All books bought from Amazon. In the downloaded ones, there are no comics or travel companions or other stuff with graphics.
Purely text. Thrillers, self help, business, history, ...
