But neither of them say that they will work with the Aura although I think that they would.
Any USB charger will normally work with any device that charges via USB. The only restriction is that the charger must deliver more power than the device needs for basic operation if it's turned on while charging. If the device draws all the power that the charger can supply when it's turned on (or more), then the device must be turned off in order to charge the battery, and it will charge very slowly unless you get a charger with more power.

The 2-amp Kobo charger in the links above is more for the Vox/Arc tablets, which draw more power than the e-readers and have a bigger battery with a faster charge rate. The higher capacity doesn't benefit the Touch/Glo/Mini/Aura.
