Like others said, within the terms that Amazon has set, you must be registered to the same account at the time you want to share. Is it possible to give books? Yes. It is possible to strip the DRM off and share the book. This is not only a violation of Amazon's ToS but it is also illegal in most if not all countries in which the Kindle is sold. I don't know if Amazon explores the contents of your Kindle enough to catch you but I certainly wouldn't call it a risk-free proposition. Switching your registration is a good way to effectively loan a book without violating the terms of sale. It's even offers a benefit over the physical book since you can have a book on up to six devices at a time.
If you do this, you may want to disable Whispersync since it will move your place in the book to the latest spot read on any of the devices on you account that have connected to the Internet. My husband and I both share an account so we disable this feature. Unfortunately, the Kindle ecosystem doesn't let you link accounts or specify which devices belong to which user in a single account. I wish this were not the case since I occasionally like to read on my phone and would love to be able to have that sync but not have it affect my husband if he happens to be reading the same book.
