Yep, you can use other chargers - I routinely use either an iPhone wall charger or a plain power/USB adapter.

It's best not to have your device plugged in to a sleeping PC - not only might this not charge, but it can even drain charge from your device.

Via a wall charger it shouldn't take more than 15-20 minutes or so. Longer from a computer USB slot. Just turn the device on and check the charge level (the level displayed on a statis/sleeping screen may not reflect the current charge).

I find Wifi setup far less troublesome. There's no need for the Kobo Desktop app at all that way.
