Use a computer to transfer the books

I am not addressing the issue of whether you should register either or both Kindles with Amazon (if you own the hardware it's your business how to use it), or whether you have the right to store or read the eBooks in question on any particular device. But you can easily transfer the files using a computer, either in Calibre or in your computer's file management system. In either case you will be doing this via sideloading, i.e. using the USB connection.

Calibre makes this pretty obvious -- you can have more than one external device associated with your library.

If you don't have Calibre installed on the computer, you need to move the book files from the first K on to the computer's hard drive, then from there on to the second K. Make sure you put the files in the same folder on the receiving K as the one they were stored in on the donor K.

If the books are DRM-free, you should be able to open and read them on the second K.
