If it is not blacklisted, I really don't see what kind of ethical problem there is, after all, you currently have several Kindles for personal use and apparently that is not unethical, even though you didn't pay for them.

Check if they have been blacklisted, by trying to sign into an Amazon account (you can even create a new one if you suspect they may be watching your account ).
If you can sign into Amazon, sell the Kindles with a clear conscience.

(In fact, it would be a sign that Amazon doesn't really care...)

If you cannot sign in, you may end up in trouble when a buyer receives it and files a complaint against your seller account for fraudulent misrepresentation of goods.
Thus, you must clearly state in the product description that it is blacklisted.
It's not unethical to sell them. But what is unethical and illegal is to try to sell them as brand new. That's what the OP wants to do by trying to reset them back to the same screen as when they came new.
