You can use calibre to transfer the files to his phone's SD card. The software can be configured to convert on transfer, so you don't need to run all of your books through the converter - converting on transfer would naturally make the transfer process last longer.

This is the setup I use. Calibre is an amazing program. I have a Storm 2 and when I drop it into its cradle, attached to my PC, calibre recognizes the phone and shows me what books are in the MobiPocket folder on it. I can transfer, and convert if needed, any non-DRM book in my calibre library. I also buy and read books using the Barnes and Noble App on my Storm.
I have been using the Storm as a reader for over a year now, and have read more than one hundred books on it. I find that I now
always have a book with me, usually a bunch of books. Anytime I have a free minute or more, I can get in some reading.
I haven't bought a Nook, Kindle, etc. because i can't imagine one of them being nearly as convenient and portable as my Storm. It is also my alarm clock, so I have it on my person from the time I wake up until I go to bed. A separate reader would just be one more thing to carry around.
