How do you briefly register someone to your account to give them a book? Well... you register them to your account... and then give them the book. OK, sorry. First your friend deregisters their kindle from their account (on the settings page on the kindle). Then there are 2 ways to register it to your account - from the kindle, on the settings page, by putting in your Amazon account's username (email address) and password, or on your Manage Your Kindle web page you can type in your friend's serial number (on the back of a K2, on the settings page of a K3). Then your friend's kindle will show your archive and they can download what they want.
With regards to what happens to a library book when you mess with it to use it in a kindle, there are two ways, which could be the cause of some of the confusion here. One way make a .mobi library book work on a kindle but it will still expire. The other way breaks the DRM on ePub so you can convert it to .mobi. With this version the books never expire.
