You can move the app to the internal SD card, but the data stays in app storage.
For comparison, Calibre Companion with a little over 4000 books is using 90MB of storage. (The books themselves use 3.5GB on the external SD card.)

My Kindle library doesn't fit in my Paperwhite 2.
Of my 900+ books, I can download about 650.
And those 650 only, because I carefully choose the books manually.
I'm not downloading 30MB Dilbert cartoons for example.
Meaning:
Kindle library = about 2GB of "core" items and another 2GB of "none essential" titles.
Another 2GB for Kobo and Nook - each!
--> Does this mean, of my roundabout 8GB of books (not even including my 1000+ ePUBs), I can use only 500MB?
This would be a clear showstopper for me. I already hate the 2GB limit on my Paperwhite 2...
For comparison:
As the Kindle app takes 350MB (without downloading any books!), what's the storage needed for Nook or Kobo or other 3rd party apps?
At least, I'd want to install:
Kindle + Kobo + Nook - some ePub capable apps, maybe some app for comics as well.
