Does uninstalling the Books app delete all books stored on the device?

I have a few epubs I transferred over through ITunes. If I uninstall the app, are these books deleted with or do they remain on my device?

They’ll be deleted. However, offloading the app will retain all documents and data.

BookBub library access lost after iPad reset My iPad was wiped at the Apple Store and then set up again. I recovered my apps including BookBub, but I can’t access my library. I have hundreds of books I don’t want to lose. I can still access them on my iPhone. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
