All your kindle books are held on your Kindle account on Amazon. The books will only be downloaded to devices (e.g. iPad and PC) if you have downloaded the Kindle App and registered that device with your Kindle account. By deleting them from your iPad, the books are still held on Amazon and you can download them as required to your Kindle-registered PC any time you want.

Whysthishappening is correct. You can still access any book you delete from the app, either in it or on another device, anytime you wish.
To delete a book, make sure you are in the Device view (see the menu at the bottom of the app). Tap and hold the book. Tap Remove from Device. (all of your Amazon books on that account BTW, will still be visible on the Cloud view and can be downloaded.

That works for iBooks. The Kindle app functions a little differently.
Hiya to delete books from kindle app you need to go onto amazon on your laptop/PC, Then into your account then click manage your kindle on the drop down choices. Press actions at the end of each book and press delete from library.
Hope this helps
what happens if you have two ipads - the original and the air, and delete books from original ipad. Will it remain in the kindle library in the cloud, on the computer(laptop/desktop) and on the ipad air? I just want to free up some space on my original ipad but keep my books on my ipad air yet.
Each device has it's own configuration of Kindle books that are downloaded (vs. those that are in the cloud). So the deleting of books from the Kindle app on either a device or computer only removes the book from the local storage on that device or computer.

You really don't need to go to Amazon to move books from the Kindle app on a device or computer to the cloud. You just need to delete them (swipe left on an iDevice, select and click remove from device under the File menu on a computer).
