Kindles manufactured before 2022 don't support EPUB natively. MOBI is the traditional Kindle format that works on every Kindle model ever made — including Paperwhite (1st-10th gen), Voyage, Oasis, Keyboard, and basic Kindle.
MOBI files can be emailed directly to your Kindle's email address (found in Settings → My Account → Send-to-Kindle Email) for wireless delivery. This works on all Kindle models.
MOBI files can be transferred to any Kindle via USB cable — just copy to the "documents" folder. This works even without WiFi.
