when i delete the kindle app,,,,will i lose all the books i've downloaded

My Kindle app, on my I Pad Air 2, updated over the weekend.

It now crashes every time I try to use it.

I've done everything they said to do except delete the app and re download it.

If I delete my Kindle app,,,will I lose all the books I've downloaded?

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 15

Yes. Deleting an App will remove all associated data.


By contrast, offloading an App deletes the App - but preserves the data:

Consider that deleting an App and removing data allows you to cleanly reinstall a potentially bad App or corrupted data. For your Kindle Books, all your prior book purchases remain available in your Kindle library - and can be downloaded again (without incurring additional cost) to any of your devices.
