Andrei, first of all, please take enough time to write that you can press the "shift" key when needed, and check your spelling. It will make things much easier for the people you're asking to help you.
As to your books, we can't give you an answer. We don't have the books in front of us. We don't even know what their titles are. We don't know when they were written, nor by whom, nor what rights were and are transferred under what circumstances. All we know is that there's some guy who has some ebooks -- and we can't provide any sort of definitive answer about "some ebooks".
However, here's something very important to think about: It's highly unlikely that you are going to make much, if any, money from ebooks. If they're pirated, why would anyone pay you when they can get them free, and people who want pirated books know exactly where to go? If they're public domain, why would anyone pay you when they can get them free, starting with right here on MobileRead, or pay their favorite device-linked bookstore for them? If they're under copyright, they're either already for sale somewhere (a major bookstore, Smashwords, etc.) and it's unlikely the owners would want to add you to their vendors, or they're not for sale anywhere because they're crap, and word will quickly spread that you don't have anything worth paying for. Some combination of these might even be true. But there's no combination that winds up with people giving you money for ... well, much of anything.
While this may change in the future, ebook readers are still in the "early adopter" phase right now. People who buy ebook readers buy them because they have ebooks they want to read -- they already know about the books, and have selected where they want to get them, and just need a device to read them on. While a few get them as gifts, most people don't go buy an ebook reader and then start looking around for something to read with it. It's very much the other way around. The egg, in this case, comes well before the chicken.
Whether a book is currently in copyright depends in some combination on the date of publication, the longevity of the author, and what country the reader is in. For most even moderately recent books, no copyright notice is required; a work is automatically copyrighted from the moment it is "fixed" -- that is, written down. The odds are fairly good that for the books you're dealing with, the answer is "yes". So the next question is what rights you have -- that is, what rights you bought when you bought the books. For that, you'll have to check with whoever you bought them from, or with the sale contract you got when you bought them. If you have no contract, and there's no notice giving you certain rights, then you don't have them. But again, that's something people here can't address, because we don't have the books or their documentation, and you do.
