Aha, OK that makes sense now. I think I did have to sign back into the Kindle app on my new device.
My Kobo app was a little funny. I wasn't asked to sign back in, but the downloading wouldn't work so I ended up signing out and then signing back in. Of course when you sign out, all your content is gone, but at least the Kobo app had a 'download all' option, which was nice.
I actually created an encrypted backup from the old iPad on a computer using iTunes and then restored to the new device from there, rather than backing up and restoring from iCloud because even with a good internet connection in the past, I didn't have great luck using iCloud to restore a device. I got a lot of blank spaces where pictures should have been, it was an absolute mess.
