I think the books will remain in your account and thus not be readable by the new owner, but I'm not sure about that. Stripping DRM (google Apprentice Alf) is a good idea anyway.

To import the books on the Kindle into Calibre connect the Kindle to the PC and choose the Device View in Calibre. Select the books you want to add and right click -> Add Books to Library.
