No other app I have takes up more than 80MB. Kindle app is taking up 1.27GB!!! The Nexus only has 9GB available to began with. This is crazy.
You have several options:

1. Live with the app the way it is and wait for Amazon's next release.
2. Uninstall the app and install a different app to read eBooks.
3. Return the Nexus and exchange it for another Nexus with more memory.
4. Return the Nexus for a refund and just use your Kindle Fire HD 2013 to read eBooks. You stated you have found no problems with that device.

Don't count on Amazon's next release to fix this problem. It could be months until this specific problem is addressed.

Amazon may be focusing all their resources on their rumored Spring release of a new Kindle which may be far different than the PW, HD or HDX.

As I said above, I've googled this problem and your case seems unique. Others have had different problems with this app, NOT yours exactly. It is possible that others with a similar problem to yours are just ignoring it and using the app just fine. Maybe they have more memory installed and it is not a significant factor to them.

One thing you could do is post it directly on the Android-Nexus 7 2013 Forum and see if anyone there can help. They even may have users there with better knowledge of how to correct this problem. It may even have a solution by changing a setting of which you have no knowledge.

One question, does that Kindle Android reading app have its own Mayday feature perhaps just to use text to contact an Amazon specialist?
