file format for Kindle Fire HD 10

[wilfriedwald]

I have a Mac Mini (2018) and a Kindle Fire HD 10 (2021)

I am trying to transfer files (video, books etc) between the two using flash drives.

Question: which format should the flash drives be in? As a Mac person, I am not that conversant with Windows / DOS / PC formats. As far as I can see, the MAC DISK UTILITY program gives me three options:

1 - MS-DOS (FAT32)
2 - ExFAT
3 - Microsoft NTFS

which one of these three options is best for this purpose? Which one can be most easily "read" by the Kindle Fire?

Thanks! Grateful for any feedback.

Thanks in advance,

FAT32, unless you want to transfer files larger than 4GB each. But I don't know if a Kindle can mount and use ExFAT. And NTFS is really just for Windows.
