In my experience I'm able to download .mobi files directly to various Kindle models. The web site needs to include appropriate meta-data with the HTTP response (which includes the ebook).

As an example try the following web site www.munseys.com/ and one book I picked from the homepage www.munseys.com/book/35352/Red-Headed_Sinners that includes the KindleFire format (actually a .mobi file)

I don't currently have a Paperwhite with me (I can try later on for you) to test whether this book downloads correctly.

Also, since other people are commenting on the Kindle Fire being more restrictive, here's an article that includes 3 ways to get books onto the Fire google.about.com/od/kindlefire/a/How-To-Put-Non-Amazon-Books-On-Your-Kindle-Fire.htm
