From a usability point of view, I think the idea of just cutting the thing down arbitrarily to 2000 chars is a terrible idea -- what happens if it's in the middle of something I really want to read? I guess you're going to have some kind of system where I can read the rest?

But anyway, one good idea would be to use a module which can split text up into sentences, which is apparently what Lingua::EN::Sentence does.
