That is the AC input voltage and basically, says you can use that charger in most countries with the appropriate adapter. As long as the output is between 4.75 and 5.25V (5V plus/minus 5%) at 500mA or higher, you should be safe to use it.

Kobo readers have internal battery charging circuits that will restrict the current used if the adapter is rated higher than the Kobo rating. For example, a Kobo WiFi is rated as 5V, 1A while the Aura HD is rated at 5V, 0.8A and I have charged both units from a Google adapter rated at 5V 1.4A, an iPad adapter rated at 5.1V, 2.1A and using my computer. The only difference is that using the computer, it takes longer to charge and the iPad adapter does not get as warm charging a Kobo as when I charge my iPad.
