It's also not in the UK iOS store either. Sometimes it can just be a developer has found a bad crash and they've pulled the app back which will make it not appear in the store whilst they get a fixed update to the app pushed out and into Apple for certification.

That said it could definitely be that Amazon have done something to not comply with terms and conditions. I seem to recall that new iOS apps now need to comply with IPv6, so if they have tried to push an update out maybe that's caused a problem if it didn't have IPv6 support in it.

*EDIT* The more I think about it the more it's likely to be IPv6. A developer I work for had to recently push out an app update but we were using lots of support files on AWS (Amazon Web Service) Cloud. The only way we could get around this as Amazon wasn't IPv6 compliant yet was to basically move our files to Microsoft cloud. This would only happen if they were trying to push an app update out though, existing apps are fine. So my guess is Amazon have come unstuck with IPv6 support because Kindle app will be using their cloud services.

Anyone deleting the app from their iPhone/iPad will be fine because they can go back into the Store purchases and find the app there and re-download the old (latest) version of the app. Anyone new though that hasn't downloaded it before won't be able to get it until Amazon fix the app update.
