Kobo's viewer for epubs is Adobe RDSDK code. The viewer used by Calibre is not. Different sources, different displays. Much like the differences you will see between IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc. when viewing web pages.
Personally, I find that Calibre's viewer does not comes as close as my Kobo ereader to matching what I would expect from the epub 2.01 specification.
One horrible example of image display issues I ran into was when switching versions of Adobe's InDesign. The output was intended for use on iPads issued by the company. InDesign 5 worked fine, the image size was what was expected. InDesign 6 images came out as if no scale to page width had been applied. The only difference was that ID 5 put the scaling in-line while ID 6 put it in the CSS and then referenced it.
ID5:
<img alt="kcycle" width="23%" src="../images/figure2.jpg" />
ID6:
<div class="img_centre">
<img alt="kcycle" class="figure23" src="../images/figure2.jpg" />
</div>
The figure23 tag simply set width=23% and height=auto.
Looked the same in ADE, looked the same on my Kobo, on the iPad, the first example was about 25% of the page width, the second example took about 60% of the page width so the image was displayed at it's full size.
