Is the import really necessary? What happens if you use CC's Read function (long press on book or go to book details and select "Read")? I would try it myself but I don't yet have my Fire HD.
the Kobo app works in it's own sweet way. It will not simply opn an epub, and in fact you cannot register it in asndroid as an epub handler even. It needs to import the books into itos own database befroe you can read them, so you have to launch the KObo app, then select import books& let it scan, then tell it what to add.

the Kobo app is trying to give a full Kobo experience, - with shop, library, books, comics, magazines, reading stats, recommendations - all the bslls & whistles of a dedicated Kobo reader. I't won't play at all until you sign up or sign in to a Kobo account.

but it IS an excellent epub reader once you get past all of that

you could test how CC talks to the Kobo app via any android device that can run that app, it does not need to be a Kindle- but I suspect the app has a single front door & you cannot work around needing the import step

I think your read option will fire up an app that is file associated for epub - and it is possible to side -load various free ones that can do that.
