I use this:

and it works just fine.

Kobo also sells a dedicated AC adapter kit as one of the retail accessories, but the actual wall wart is a bit boxy - like Samsung adapters - and looks like it might not travel well (i.e., nice and flat in your electronic dopp kit).

I was actually surprised that a basic, FLAT, non-bulky AC-USB adapter was so hard to find when I was looking for one. As much as I like the Amazon Basics item described above, it doesn't pack well for travel, but it's better than the rest [angry face icon]
