Sorry but prc/mobi is a format whose time has come and gone, probably about the time I was using a Palm Pilot as an ereader. The two main ebook formats are azw3 and epub with azw8 (KFX) as a contender and cbr/cbz, mobi and pdf well back. The prc/mobi format supported by the Kobo firmware is the original Mobipocket format so quite a few of Amazon's newer mobi format ebooks are not compatible with a Kobo ereader so conversion to epub is definitely the better choice.

As for 101% compatibility? I would love to find an epub renderer that was 100% compatible with either the epub2 or epub3 specifications.
