NO. but if he re-activates it with a new account so he can add his own books it might.
So long as he does not have access to your AMAZON password you can erase them remotely or he can locally but it will require human action to erase them.
HE WILL ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO ALL OTHER BOOKS ON YOUR AMAZON KINDLE ACCOUNT.. Even if they were installed on a different device.
(I have 3 different registered devices on my account and they all share the library).
Be sure when you activate the new one you set your default device at Amazon's kindle store.
