I have to agree with this. I read books on both Kindles and Kobos and I get my books from Amazon. At first I just used mobi versions for the Kobos but most features don't work much of the time. The books were entirely readable but the Kobo feature set was very unreliable.
I've found that to still be true with sideloaded epub books but they're not nearly as much of a problem. Most features work most of the time. Line spacing and fond bolding fails more than I'd like but it was far worse with mobi files. And a lot of other problems occurred with mobi files that don't fail with epubs on the Kobos, although it's been long enough since I've used one on my Kobo that I don't really remember which features those were.
My advice is use epub files on Kobos. It's a pretty good device if you do.
Fortunately converting with Calibre is trivial so it doesn't really matter much.
