Calibre had prompted me to auto convert my ebook, but I declined. Calibre didn't tell me why it was giving me such a proposition or what format it would convert to, so why should I have?

The support for MOBI in Kobo's firmware is for the original format used by Mobipocket. The changes to the format from when Amazon purchased Mobipocket in 2005 to now can often cause strange looking pages to display. Calibre does a pretty decent job of converting MOBI to epub allowing you to avoid such issues as having every other word underlined.

If the driver did not have MOBI ticked off as a supported format, calibre will not send it to your Kobo without conversion.
