It says that’s the GiveWell figure for bednets to save a life, presumably as of 2010. I’m not sure how much of the change is due to more bednets out there (which has been significant) and how much is GW feeling less confident about everything than they did in 2010. “Famine, Affluence, and Morality” doesn’t mention a specific number to save a life.

The Current figure estimated by GiveWell is $3,500 per life saved:
