But as long as the tablet can operate as a USB host, i.e. it supports USB On-The-Go, you should have no problems besides the obvious awkwardness of trying to treat a tablet like a computer. Just plug your standard USB storage device (the Kindle) into the OTG-capable tablet and it will appear like any other sd card, flash drive, or similar.
Technically true, but...

1. Are the books concerned already in Kindle format? If not, they will need to be converted to the appropriate format, which requires a PC.

2. Do the books have DRM? If so, this will prevent a direct transfer from one device to another. They will need to be processed on a PC.

Hence my conclusion that, in all likelihood, the process will require a PC.
