Transfer ebooks to iPhone via cable

I have about 400 ebooks, mostly in .mobi format on my computer. I have a Kindle and can transfer the books to the Kindle over a USB cable.

I also have a 32 gb iPhone and am trying to figure out how to transfer those same e-books to my iPhone. I really do not want to set up wi-fi for my phone but prefer to transfer the ebooks over a USB cable. I am trying out FileAid and DiskAid. With those programs, I can get access to the "Media" directory on my iPhone. I have also installed the following applications on my iPhone to "play" with - Bookshelf BLT, eReader, Stanza, and Kindle.

Is there any easy way to get the mobi books from my computer running Windows Vista onto my iPhone so that one of the applications can access the ebooks?

Assuming that I can't get there from here using a physical cable, and I do set up Wi-Fi on my iPhone, any suggestions/recommendations on the best way to transfer the existing books to my iphone? I would prefer not to have to convert the existing .mobi ebooks into another format.

Thanks.

Jerry
