That's a bit strange. The driver should be getting the list of all books on the device. It doesn't matter if they were sideloaded or downloaded from Kobo. Are you looking at the device list to make sure? Or was there any errors during the sync?

One thing I have realised which may or may not be relevant, is that under Kobo on My Computer, the books on the Kobo are not listed. Presumably they should be?
As AneamicOak said, that depends on the books. Kobo downloads their books to the directory ".kobo\kepub". If that is empty, there are no purchased kepubs. Sideloaded books go elsewhere. If you use ADE, they are under the "Digital Editions" directory. If you manually sideload, the could be anywhere. From calibre, there is usually a directory for each author, but that can be changed.

To answer your query, I am hoping to transfer books purchased from Kobo from the Kobo Touch to the Kindle App on my Apple iPad Mini.
Again as AneamicOak said, you can use the Kobo app. To get into the Kindle app, the books will need to have DRM removed and then converted to another format. That is a little problem for purchased kepubs. But, the Kobo app works and will sync the reading status between the iPad and the Touch. If you install the app, login and wait a little bit, all the books will just appear.
