So that goes for any and all usb wall charges from belkin, to apple, to crackberries, to what ever knock off usb charger out there that will ever be. The only time I would err on caution is if I purchased at Xscargo or LW where it may be a lot buy of substandard electronics (means they failed quality testing and do not perform correctly).

Otherwise your good to go.

You are correct that you cannot overcharge the Kobo but a charger that doesn't put out the minimum current required can, itself, be destroyed. You need to insure that the mA available meets or exceeds the minimum requirements for the Kobo. Note that a device can tell the difference between being hooked to a computer and being hooked to a charger so it may intentionally expect more current be available from a charger. I believe it wants about 800mA from other posts and to give it less would be a mistake.
