There are several plugins you will need to install in Calibre: KoboTouch Extended, Kepub Output and maybe Kepub Metadata reader and writer. Possibly Kobo Utilities. Might be others...
KoboTouchExtended might be enough. I believe it converts to kepub on the fly as you transfer books from your computer to your kobo.

You've made a few mistakes here. First off, there is also kepubify that is a command line program for converting ePub to KePub. Also, ePub' page turns are plenty fast enough. With recent firmware, Kobo has improved margin/font size/line height changes also for ePub. So they are quick as well. Also, ePub does have better (overall) typesetting then KePub.
Now I am not saying one should choose ePub over KePub. But I'd like to get the fact correct so others can make an informed decision. Other then footnotes, image zoom, and ePub 3 specific features, there's not much of a reason to read KePub over ePub. Things have changed and ePub is better then it ever has been.
