If you are using gnome, your default file manager is an application called nautilus. I'm not that familiar with it since I'm a kde guy but apparently you figured out how to make hidden files visible in nautilus. I assumed since you were asking about two kde applications, you were using kde. However, even if you are running kde applications in a gnome environment, you will have a .kde directory in your home directory and that's where all the configuration files for any kde applications reside for the most part.
As to which files to use to accomplish the transfer of your kaddressbook data to another computer running those apps, here's the general procedure:
1. Copy the entire kabc directory on the box that has your address book data to a flash drive;
2. Go to your new box that will receive the transfer and rename that kabc directory old.kabc;
3. Take your flash drive to the new box and copy and paste the kabc directory in /home/<username>/.kde/share/apps/
The next time you open kaddressbook, you should see all your old data there. There isn't just a single file in kabc that you need to transfer. For instance, every address book entry creates its own std.vcf_<number> file. It's just easier to copy the entire kabc directory over.
I don't use korganizer but the procedure should be pretty much the same; you copy over the entire directory. I always rename the old directory for safety so I can go back to my previous configuration if something gets screwed up in the transfer but you could just as easily overwrite the entire directory if you want.
