TLC NAND, you're looking at 500-1000 P/E cycles so that's (not factoring write amplification):
8GB: 4-8TB NAND writes
32GB: 16-32TB NAND writes
In any case, no need to baby it but running regular defrag is a no-no. I remember trying defrag on a relatively full SSD once and it made two drive writes worth.

Yeah. That volume, you're talking deleting a device-worth of books and filling the whole thing up again on a daily basis for years before it starts getting risky. Who on earth would do a thing like that?
(For some non-Kindle usage patterns, sure, you probably can wear them out with enough usage, though it's fairly difficult. But a Kindle?!)
