Instead of a crapshoot, I think of this quote from Terry Pratchett:
“God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.

In order to fit 3,000 eBooks in 1GB (is it 1024x1024 or is it 1,000,000)? you would need an average of 349.5 bytes for all the eBooks and if 1GB = 1,000,000 then the average would be 333.33 bytes. Not gonna happen in either case.
