Kindles do get confused and often hang when given thousands of books or some crazy long books. But with less than a thousand books they usually do fine.
The issue is mostly Light Novels for example "Ascendance of a Bookworm" series which are about 34 medium length novels, around 300 pages each. A Kindle could easily handle hundreds of them except for the artwork which balloons a few megabyte book up to 30 to 40 megabytes each. Just that series alone will fill a 2GB Kindle after accounting for overhead and Amazon bloat.
Try to add a few Light Novel series, and you'd run out of space on a 4GB or even the latest 8GB models.
The artwork in those Light Novels is amazingly bloated for reading on a 6" greyscale display!
