A longer explanation is that you can use any charger that outputs the same voltage (this isn't much of an issue as USB ports are required to run on 5v DC) and if the current source equals to or exceeds the input requirements of the Glo. A typical USB 2.0 port on a computer only provides 500mA of current for the device to charge, USB 3.0 goes up to 900mA which is still below the specs of your charger.

FYI Kobo's own cube charger only outputs 5v at 1000mA (1 ampere) and it is marketed to work with the Glo, Mini & Touch. I finally found one at a retail store and use it to charge my camera which only came with a very bulky .5A USB charger, as well as my readers.
