I have got Calibre, so I could convert the PDFs to Mobi.
Is the general consensus that the Mobi format is the proper format to be used with a Kindle?
Once on your computer, can a Mobi then easily be uploaded onto a Kindle?

Are these PDFs you are creating? if so, consider generating .mobi files from your source material instead.
The easiest way to get things on a Kindle is generally to use the Personal Documents service to deliver wirelessly. If your friend adds your email address to 'approved senders', then you can email .PDF, .doc, .mobi, .txt, .html, or even .zip (containing image files) attachments directly to her Kindle. With PDF you can have the service convert to mobi, or just deliver as is. Non mobi files will be converted to mobi format.
