The current version of the Kindle app requires iPadOS 17.0 or later. Your tag line says that you have an iPad mini (6th generation). While it originally shipped with iPadOS 15, it is compatible with iPadOS 27.
Note that Apple may require you to have a valid payment method on file even to download "free" apps.

No idea. What happens when you try? Is iPadOS up to date on your device?
