No, because when you give someone a book you aren't creating additional copies of it, and so copyright law doesn't enter into the picture.

As I said I did not take copies I took their copies they used it as a chance to clear out the ebook readers in the same way we use to clean out our book shelves.

Please read your
Kindle License Agreement.. The section headed "Use of Digital Content" says, does it not:

"Solely for your personal ... use". ie, you can't give it to somebody else.
That's why what you're doing is wrong.
