Well, you can clear all of the app's data without uninstalling it and reinstalling it. You go to Android's settings, then the app manager, then select the Kindle app, and clear the data for it. The details may vary somewhat depending on the hardware manufacturer's modifications to Android.
Once you've done this, you may (or may not) need to log in to Amazon again, and you're pretty much where you would be if you uninstalled and reinstalled the Kindle app. It'll still eat up more and more space until you have to repeat this.
