If I installed amazon app store and downloaded an app from there, then went ahead and uninstalled amazon app store, will I lose the app I downloaded from the app store?
Thanks

The app wouldn't be uninstalled, but you would not be able to run it.
Apps from the Amazon store are altered to require the presence of the AppStore on the device -- as well as a network connection. This was a problem I had with Amazon store apps on a wi-fi tablet I used for audiobooks and light gaming. I wouldn't run it for a couple of days and then open it in some remote location -- only to have it inform me that I didn't own the apps and that I should open the AAS to correct that. With no wi-fi connection, I had to tether to my phone to get to the AppStore to verify before I could use apps for which I had shelled out money.
I am in the process of buying those apps I really use again through the Play Store. When that's done, I'm going to complain to Amazon until I get refunds on those apps. I've read that they make no secret of their network requirement, and will give money back to some customers who are unhappy with being locked out of their apps.
