If you are not using the Download option from the menu on Kobo's website, the Kobo Desktop app saves the ebooks as what looks like a GUID as the filename with no file extension in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Kobo\Kobo Desktop Edition\kepub.

To import the files into calibre, take a look at the OBOK plugin which comes packaged in the same .zip file as the DeDRM plugin's .zip. Extract the Obok_plugin.zip from the original .zip and install it in calibre.

If you do download the files from the Kobo website, they will either download as an epub file for non-DRMmed files or an .ascm file for DRMmed files. If you are getting the DRMmed variant, you can either use Adobe's ADE to download the epub and then import it into calibre removing DRM on the way or you can use the ACSM (aka DeACSM) plugin for calibre to download the epub and import it into calibre. This is handy for Linux users since it make life a lot simpler than running ADE using WINE.
