I researched more using the Manage feature from the GSam app. I found that "Amazon Kindle," the reading app, has 9 Mb in the app and 174 Mb of data. My eBooks have 204 Mb.

Thus, my total eBook reading usage on the HDX 2013 is 387 Mb.

My device is using 4.57 Gb and has 21.11 Gb free. I purchased 32 Gb so the rest must be taken up by system files. My main use is 1.78 Gb for 378 items of Music.

By the way, GSam shows my Battery Life from a Complete Charge is 12 hours and 33 minutes and my Screen On time is 8 hours and 35 minutes.

If your Nexus has 32 Gb of memory, 1 Gb for a Kindle reading app is NOT significant since porting the app to non-Kindle devices must require at least 250 Mb to 500 Mb of code.

@JSWinden: If you have the GSam Battery Monitor installed, look for the Kindle Reading App under GSam Main Screen / App Usage / Amazon Kindle / Manage.
