I haven't downloaded the DVDs, but if they don't include the .epub and .mobi formats (and I'd be surprised if a DVD from PG from 2010 or earlier does), I think he should strongly consider attempting to get either .mobi or .epub versions of the books he wants from Project Gutenberg.

I did mention that I was pretty sure that the title/ author was associated with the epub/kindle format.

With plain text it's likely you might have to go through and individually change the metadata information. Of course you could convert the text files to epub easily enough in Calibre as well. There are a lot of books though which makes the epub/kindle format books easier to work with.
