Given that the Triumph runs android 2.2, you should be able to connect it to your desktop using USB and use calibre to transfer all the books you want at one shot. One nice feature of fbreader is that it automatically notices changes to the books folder on the phone.

If I am wrong and your Triumph runs android 3 or higher (as does my galaxy nexus), then there is another strategy. I created a folder on my desktop to be a proxy for my nexus and use calibre's connect-to-folder feature to treat it as a device. I have connected that folder to a folder on my nexus using sugarsync. Voila -- I change my 'device' and my phone follows.

I use sugarsync instead of dropbox because sugarsync handles auto-syncing folders. As far as I can tell, dropbox will only auto-sync files.

Edit: The android app dropsync can sync folders using dropbox. It appears to be less of a resource hog on my phone than sugarsync.
