I think you have your numbers the wrong way around. Project Gutenberg has just under 32,000 titles available. Just over 100,000 are available through its "Partners, Affiliates and Resources".

Amazon currently has over 480,000 ebooks available.

Even Fictionwise, with its greatly depleted stock thanks to the current fuss with the agency model, has over 45,000 titles.
