The Kindle and Kobo use different DRM schemes to copy-protect their books, as well as different file formats (AZW from Amazon, and ePub from Kobo).
In order to transfer your books between the two different readers, you would have to remove the DRM (although some books are sold without it) and then convert the un-protected file format.
We can't discuss the 1st step in detail here on MR for potential legal liability reasons to protect the forum, but you can google for the words apprentice, alf, and tools for your answers to that.
Converting from ePub to AZW or vice versa is as easy as using Calibre (or KindleGen, if you want finer control over the AZW output), which has its own discussion forums here should you run into any problems.
For what it's worth, it's pretty easy to get Kobo books working on a Kindle, which is something I'd been doing for years before I finally got a Sony to read my ePubs on. I've never bothered to do it the other way around, but it's usually reasonably simple to download Kindle books and remove the DRM from them, which I almost always do before loading them onto my K2 out of habit.
Perhaps you might want to test things out by trying the process on a few freebie titles to see how convenient you find it?
Hope this helps.
