If it is kindle it uses MOBI format the other formats are EPUB and PDF normally they are not interchangeable but Calibre will re-format them to whatever you want PDF is basic text. I use an android tablet mostly, I do have kindle on it but mainly use Aldiko which uses EPUB format. I like Aldiko much more than kindle

On edit: I really do not like kindle all that much and the fire tablet was a gift, I never would have bought one for myself
